EDIT: you guys have dug up some truly horrible pisstakes :D Thank you for those.
To the serious folk - relax a little. This is Mildly Infuriating, not I'm dying if this doesn't stop. As a non-native speaker I was taught a certain way to use the language. The rules were not written down by me, nor the teachers - it was done by the native folk. Peace!
[malix@derp ~]$ fewer .bashrc bash: fewer: command not found:(
$alias fewer = ‘less’
What would
" $ touch fewer
$ fewer .bashrc " Do?
basically nothing/same “command not found”.
“fewer” doesn’t have execute rights, nor does the next command use the fewer in current directory. But, taking all that into account and “doing it right…ish”:
$ touch fewer $ chmod +x fewer $ ./fewer .bashrc #it outputs nothing, it's an empty scriptThe right answer is to use bat
My pet peeve is people using
lesswhen they should be usingmoreNah, I like my VIM keys
