::::::: What? Are you being deliberately stubborn or are you ''[gratuitous and inflammatory insult self-censored]''? Let me spell it out for you: one line that consists of (say) 50 characters is '''not''' in fact any more ''lines'' than one character.... --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 19:26, 16 September 2021 (UTC) |

:::::::: Neither. There is no need to be insulting or vulgar. I merely said that one line of one character is the shortest I could think of. I never said (as you insultingly implied) that one line of '''x''' characters is less than one line of '''y''' characters.

It's inflammatory and insulting language like this that is giving Rosetta Code a bad reputation. Calm down and ''then'' compose. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC) |
