For starters, let be nice, and truthful. The community is known for this, and you've no leg to stand on. His English grammar isn't so great, but it is understandable; furthermore, he knows where the shift key is and is ahead of you in spelling, 0 to 2; plus, take a look at paragraph structure. For the most part, 4 sentences and 71 words beats one sentence of 66 for clarity. I am not an expert, but looking at pty(4), it seems he has a point. "/dev/pty[p-sP-S][0-9a-v]" sure looks like 2^8 to me. But I'll leave it to the experts to discuss the truth or fiction of the assumption and the difficulty of its reconciliation, if such can occur....
