I don't think that this one has been mentioned in AFF, yet:

It's noteworthy enough for a podcast mention by The Young Turks:

Seems like the new batch of ads made for Oringina seems to like having
the individual animals using Oringina for something else than simply a
drink. There's another one out there of a bear using it as a
deodorant.

There's some way to get them as .mp4's if you know the right add-on to
use.

Don't you mean "mp4s?"

I would say "mp4's" in this case. But if anyone here has Firefox,
here's the add-on to check out...

The apostrophe (') is not necessary. What, may I ask, did the MP4s
(plural form of MP4) try to possess? :-P

For me, it's a coding thing.

Say you are reading a vim tutorial, and by following proper grammar,
you'd have something like this:
> Then, to delete a line type "dd."
When you type this in exactly as written, or dee-dee-dot, as is expected
from a tutorial, you will end up deleting 2 lines because "." means
"repeat the last command"... Not exactly what you were expecting, was
it! It would be more clearly written as:
> Then, to delete a line type "dd".

Being the coder that I am, I separate the acronym from the plural by
adding an apostrophe. It is merely for clarity. I also type the period
outside of quotes, as I did a few lines above.

For more information on this fascinating topic of breaking grammar for
clarity, try this link:
http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/writing-style.html
You will see the example I gave, as well as some more things.

If you're still reading, I also recommend ffmpeg for video and audio
conversion in the event you can't get it in mp4 format. Remember the
"-sameq" flag if you're using the most recent version from subversion
otherwise your video may become blocky.

Not necessarily proper grammar. See my comments below.

Which is why, if I had written the tutorial, I would have expressed it
exactly the same way as in your preceding example. I might have even
defined a convention in the tutorial/manual, explaining that anything
between " " is to be typed, while anything outside the double quotes
is to be ignored.

Like I said, as a TW/TE, I take a different view. Sorry, but it seems
to me that you're actually making more work for yourself by adding an
extra apostrophe when one isn't needed.

I've read the article. Filed for future reference.

Well of course I'm still reading. I'm a technical writer after all...

Hello there, fellow geek(y furry)! ;)

In American English, the possibly confusing way is the correct way, for
some odd reason...

I think that typing only what is between the quotes is a standard. When
I do markup like that, depending on the location I'm posting to and the
environment that the user will be in, I use a few different (mostly
standard) conventions, like a hash for the root prompt. If I need to say
large chunks of code and can't use a system font or something (like
needing both quotes), I usually do
=====BEGIN CODE BLOCK=====
and
======END CODE BLOCK======
to mark what the user should type, which you will probably recognize as
the GPG (among others) signature data marker.

I've written a program in assembly but didn't have the correct software
to load it onto the device I made it for, so I typed in the opcodes that
the compiler output directly onto the thing and it worked as expected...
that counts as making more work for yourself. (It was a TI-84.)

Ok, so it is a bit more work, but it's fairly small and doesn't hurt.
