In the change log I notice that you have written 'added underlining to the unique keyword, most people are missing that point'. I wonder if there is another way of expressing what you are after ? Readers might be forgiven for thinking that all numbers are equally 'unique'. Or are some a little less unique than others ?

: I was attempting to use the word '''unique''' as in to provide/display a unique Mayan number different from any other number chosen by other people when displaying an example number. Saying it this way seemed a bit too wordy. I don't disagree that all numbers are unique (but the Mayan numbers displayed are (from other people's numbers). I was thinking that in the context, the number used for their computer programming language example would be distinct from any other example used for this Rosetta Code task. But, I won't complain or flag that some people choose to copy/re-use another person's unique number. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 00:07, 15 January 2019 (UTC) |
