You send the butterflies to get you pants, albeit *very* indirectly.

Nor did I.
But this provides counts: Site Map[^] so I knocked up a quick C# to find out: 63343.
And a quick check says that doesn't include Tips* (so Projects probably aren't there either) If my authorship history is anything to go by, that would add a significant digit to that, at least: 17 articles to 88 tips.
That's a significant body of knowledge right there - not at all bad for the age of the site, given that most of 'em are pretty damn good quality!
* Because I looked in a small sub category for a specific tip of mine and it isn't listed

Nah - I have a WinForms OneOffJobs app I throw code into and recycle when I have a on-the-spot job to code / test / try.

I have a WinForm program called "Test" (good name, eh?) which is full of commented-out code. Anything I want to test on a one-off basis goes in there and then gets commented out in case I want to steal bits back later. That project is about 15 years old and has been updated more times that I can count.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Wow, two others who do that. No one I work with seems to or, at least, won't admit to it.

Interesting.
Monetizing the freely given work could be possible, if done ethically.
Like publishing a "Best of CP" compendium perhaps. The articles that have stood the test of time.
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day*.

In America this translates to "Had a quick fling with C# and got her pregnant".
And yes, I have been told on countless occasions here at this site, that Americans do not speak or write English, correctly.

Real question : is the punctuation in this sentence correctly set ?

Probably not, but I'm American, so I don't care.

I don't agree: it is just another variant of English, that is what you get if you end up with a huge empire. Most members of the empire end up being too far away from each other to notice their local "quirks" so they start diverging.
It happened even in a tiny patch like Flanders/Netherlands. Although Dutch and Flemish share the same origin there is an ever increasing requirement to subtitle TV programs for the "other" side to really understand what is being said. It is very unlikely to get any better soon and I guess we wouldn't like it to be. If all else fails we can start speaking English to each other.

Yes we can all speak Engrish! Uh oh, was that inappropriate?

Is that why C# is getting so bloated? Are they planning to birth a new language?

The 15,000,000th account was opened yesterday, which I believe was the day after CP's 21st anniversary.
CP says it has ~14.7 million members. So ~300K accounts have been closed, many of them for posting spam.

That's not quite right: there are 1M students seeking homework they are too lazy to do, a dozen admin, the six of us members, and the rest are all sock puppets!

Great foot tapping music. Had a beat I could enjoy.

This is the first time I heard it and it sounds great.

I was going to mention accounts that were voluntarily closed lest the teacher discover that they were created to get someone else to do assignments.
