Probably the best trick is to explain clearly what you wish to see, what you do see, and the undesirable difference between them. Here is a template: | I'd like to see: (format X Y) => COOL | but instead i see: (format X Y) => NOPE | | I think NOPE is close but it is not COOL because MISUNDERSTANDING. Good luck!
