Sorry, this is apropos of nothing, but...<p><grammar fanboy>In this article Lee quotes the Light Table demo as saying that it was accomplished with "with just a few lines of CSS and JavaScript," and then remarks that "I was curious as to the contents of those 3 lines as they must be the most powerful 3 lines of code ever written. In actual fact, the JavaScript file that drives the demo is 700 lines long."<p>What in god's name makes people assume that "a few" means "three?" "A few" just means exactly what it says: a relatively small number. Two is actually a relatively small number in certain circumstances, so you could say "a few" to mean "two." In <i>this</i> circumstance, 700 lines of code could be said to be "a few" lines, because I've seen full Javascript apps that use <i>7000</i> lines.<p>I don't really care about the trivial Flash/HTML5 contentiousness, and I'd rather stay out of it. But I keep encountering these weird misapprehensions based on imaginary rules concerning the phrase "a few," and it seems silly to me. </grammar fanboy>
