I don't know how anyone who knew how command line arguments work could possibly expect that. They would have to leave a space between each letter for them to be considered their own argument. (Even then, they still end up with a string rather than just a single character.) If they didn't know how they worked, then there was room for clarification, wasn't there?Speak for yourself.

I don't mind being corrected at all; I joined these forums to learn more about programming after all. All I ask is that you're at least polite about it. For some reason you clearly feel the need to be a douche, although I can't imagine why. I mean really, such rudeness over something so utterly insignificant.
Clearly the OP understood what I meant, and I understand what I meant, so you are being overly pedantic.
I wasn't rude the first time around, and I even removed my impolite post before you submitted your reply. Clearly you needed to post what an ass I am, just in case anyone here still has some doubt. I assure you I don't care.
You cannot, by definition, be overly pedantic. Was I being overly pedantic just then? Grab a dictionary and figure it out.

Honestly, I don't know what I've done to provoke such an unusual display of hostility. I can assure you I didn't feel the "need" to post your "impolite post", you simply deleted it while I was writing mine.
Just forget it, this is completely pointless. I've noted my mistake, and I wont use "argv[x]" to describe a specific command line argument, regardless of its intended length, again if it makes you feel better.
The first thing you did is whined like a baby about a post that had no hostility in it. Then, I showed you what minor hostility was, thought better of it, and let you on your merry way. You still cried like a baby, so I patted you on your head. Now be a good lad and run along before you tear that thin skin of yours.See? I absolutely did need to be pedantic, because you're wrong in what you are saying you shouldn't do anymore. argv[x] does "describe a specific command line argument, regardless of its intended length".
What it does not describe is a single character. It's not a single character. argv[x] is a character pointer. If you stopped worrying about bleeding all over the place from imaginary wounds suffered by having such thin skin, and actually looked at what I said the first time around, you wouldn't be crying, and you wouldn't be wrong in your latest statement.
Get off the internet if you can't take the "abuse" I heaped on you in my first post.

You're just being utterly pathetic now, seriously. It's more amusing than anything, though. Oh well, nighty night.
This has run it's course.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
