I mean, in devRant the problem is relatively tame, I hate it the most when there are multiple tags of the same thing, especially when they're case sensitive, example: needhelp, need_help, needHelp and NeedHelp, and my favorite(same thing but different words): help_me

Crost40394yWhen I was in my second year of university a fellow student was in a web API module with me.
During a lab my lecturer was making rounds and he came to this student who he thought looked a little lost and asked him of he needed help.
The guy said no, he will manage.
My lecturer was still concerned and asked him of has programming experience.
'No.'
"Ok do you have a maths background?"
'No.'
"Ok. Don't worry here is a link to a JavaScript tutorial. I will come back in an hour and we can do our best."
*1 hour later*
"How's it going?"
'I visited this website instead but I don't get it. Your examples don't look anything like this :('
"That's java."
'Ok'
"Ok. Java is different."
'It shouldn't be.'
"Ok. Are you interested in programming?"
'No I just want to make robots.'
My lecturer just silently walked away.
I swear to God it's people like this that just get on my nerves
"Oh look at my fucky javascript code"
"Let's tag it as JAVA NOT JAVASCRIPT BECAUSE IM AN UTTER IDIOT"
It appears that proper tagging is not just a devRant issue.
