Why would it be downvoted?

I think this is akin to posting a link to a page in a language that is not English. Surely there would be many comments reflecting the users' annoyance of having to use Google translate to read the page; no matter 'who' is sleeping or awake.

That being said, a single upvoted comment on the matter should be enough to make the OP aware.




That's the general trend I noticed on reddit. Comments about imperial/metric units are either upvoted or downvoted depending on the time (sometimes topic). Maybe HN isn't as bad. And I have to agree that one post would be enough (and comments about using search engines are not necessary).


Because there are dozens comments saying the same thing, and many of them are sort of rude.
