I think this might be beyond the pale for me, and we'll just explicitly state that we allow either form. I can cope with American spellings but I'm not sure I'm willing to cope with this atrocity 🙂 |

| Contractions (e.g. "won't", "I'm", "that's") should be used sparingly if at all in exercise descriptions, but are not restricted in other language around the site (e.g. website copy, mentoring). | ||

| Many American English style guides state that the abbreviations "i.e." and "e.g." should be followed by a comma (see, e.g., this [StackExchange thread](https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/7946/use-of-e-g-are-parentheses-necessary/93658#93658)). This is permitted, but not required within text on Exercism". |
