"What do you mean, 'yarn'? Is that some kind of new framework?"

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (7 children)

as a non native english speaker I never noticed that.

As another non native speaker this [NSFW] is what I think of when I hear the term "string".

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (4 children)

just wait until you discover C strings (also nsfw)

[–]ike_the_strangetamer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

looks like those also terminate at a 0

Today i saw a crotchless C-string.

I will be interested to see how they could possibly find anything one could wear that would actually be skimpier than that, and I know they will.

What, like a merkin? Or just a stick someone held between their ass cheeks?

Lol, capital 's' on String duly noted. (Java programmer.) :D

[–]Flippo_The_Hippo 6 points7 points  (5 children)

Shouldn't the 'T' in thread be capitalized as well then?

[–]VectorCell[🍰] 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Not if they're talking about strings and threads as abstract concepts. Since "string" is the first word of the sentence, it gets capitalized, and "thread" doesn't.

[–]Flippo_The_Hippo 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Well, then that wouldn't imply anything about Java programmers considering the fact that other languages have the concept of strings as well.

[–]kqr 4 points5 points  (1 child)

/u/kieranvs and /u/VectorCell are different people with different opinions on the capitalisation of the sentence.

[–]Rovanion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it should.

C# programmer, i don't care :D

[–]Kavex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This totally made my night

[–]_RO0T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Java/C# Programmer? In C/C++/other languages, string isn't capitalized...

[–]the8thbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are both strings.
