No one said you were the first. And obviously adding vs changes the results.

Your own source says "This is why a small minority of people today (most of whom have email addresses ending with .edu) will maintain that what we call regex are not regular expressions. For the rest of us… Regex and regular expressions? Same-same."

... uh, right. Which is what I said in my top comment in this thread... Which you replied to, and called me out for having made a distinction where you thought one didn’t exist.

Huh?

You said typical usage distinguishes between regular expression and regex. Your source says it doesn't.
