in thread Truncating after the last period

Like I wrote before, "You just have to know it and use it."

Ah! Back to allusion. When argument fails you, pretend you know something no one else does.

Perl's got it. Almost every other programming language doesn't.

Perhaps that should tell you something. Maybe no other language has it, because no other language needs a manual workaround for it's broken Unicode semantics.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
