Newline (NuBe Question)

[avi.e.gross at gmail.com]

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!

But I learn from criticism. 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?

That's what happens when you abbreviate "student" though :) Don't
worry, there's far FAR worse around the place, and juvenile brains
will always find things to snigger at, usually in mathematical
libraries with "cumulative" functions.
