Just FYI, I deliberately chose that abbreviation for a sort of irony as for some people college is about almost anything except learning and some people think they are studs and just party and ...
And I am very tired of gender discussions. Lots of words now include two or even more genders. Women are often now "actors", not actresses. I see no reason women cannot be studs!

If I ever write a program like that and do not feel like typing, will this do? dents = [ ...] Or will that not include students who happen to be edentulous? -----Original Message----- From: Python-list <python-list-bounces+avi.e.gross=gmail....@python.org> On Behalf Of Chris Angelico via Python-list Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2023 6:49 AM To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: RE: Newline (NuBe Question) On Sun, 26 Nov 2023 at 21:08, Michael F.
