Ah, but you see, “John” and “Doe” are two names - first and last - and when you say “My name is”, you’re really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!
But then there’s hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.
Nothing but understanding of words and sentences. It was kind of a whole thing. The space character was revolutionary to increasing the spread of literacy. Relevant
No, they didn’t even use the space to separate words. Take a look at any Roman inscription in Italy, there are no spaces between the words (just like there are no silent pauses between spoken words).
Not legal in Canada. Your legal name must use Latin characters only. This is a sore point for indigenous people.
Hello my name is JohnDoe. My name only contains Latin characters, no spaces allowed.

"John Doe"vs["John", "Doe"]vs{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}Could be…“Jondo” like, a mononym hahaha.
The Romans also had spaces in between words
I was under the impression that that was actually a medieval invention
This comment made me learn. Thank you.

What was used to delineate words before the space character, then?

But did they have lowercase?
EDIT: Hello my name is JOHN DOE. Only latin characters allowed
But did they have
lowercaseenglish language?Salve! John Doe nomen meum est.
Only latin
charactersallowed(That’s all the latin I remember from school back then)
Which is both entirely understandable, and also tragic because Canada’s indigenous written characters are so cool. :D
But also, it’s gotta be neat having a name among your people, that “the state” has nothing to do with…
Did the Romans not use line breaks?
No, they didn’t even use the space to separate words. Take a look at any Roman inscription in Italy, there are no spaces between the words (just like there are no silent pauses between spoken words).
Blank spaces arent characters by definition as they’re the space that allows the letters to exist

Yes, and YAML is a war crime.
