supermatico Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hello dears!! Just a very little but useful suggestion to get the app more clear and understandable: I saw after a cleaning it reports the results as 384Mb removed Should be nice to read 384 Mb removed. Note that happen on my own Language (italian), in the english version the app report is OK. Tks in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 CCleaner is correct. There should be no space between a value and a unit of measurement. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted April 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2013 Actually, I disagree. If the unit of measure is an abbreviation there should be a space. example 100 megabytes is abbreviated to 100 MB. If measure is a symbol, say per cent, then it's written 100%, but the long hand would be 100 per cent. However - there seems to be a general trend in computer measurements to leave the space out. wrongly or rightly. That's the beauty of English - the point is still communicated, and that's what counts. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

There seems (via browsing) to be no continuous usage rule on one hand http://grammar.quick...of-measure.aspx tends to agree with MTA here as does Nokia However yahoo agrees with The webatom http://styleguide.ya...s/units-measure (roll down a bit to the computer section), and give a pretty dern convincing case Edited April 13, 2013 by Nergal ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators mta Posted April 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2013 Shane, as I said, if it's a symbol, there's no space, so $5 is correct. if you were to write "he gave her 5 dollars" that is also correct. you were using a symbol as an abbreviation but it doesn't matter - the point was still communicated. it doesn't matter to me how odd it looks, or even if it's wrong or right. that's my point, for me, grammar correctness might be nice and was certainly drummed into me at school but who really cares as long as the message receiver understands the message. Edit: what we need is access to a Teacher ! Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 13, 2013 stay tuned for future versions to see what the Dev Team does.... They could silently change everything to bytes that way every cleaning would seem like it took away too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
