Nope!
But I cannot express how happy I am that you all fell for it 
At this point the winning means nothing, just tricking the local veterans into falling for my trap is the real reward 
Now the cat's out of the bag, I expect the remaining hour will be long enough to solve it... tick tock, tick tock...

I was going to point out that it's neither proper American nor Canadian, let alone British!

Yeah, I checked. I couldn't find a reference to it being spelled that way anywhere (other than an obscure band name). So, I really wasn't expecting anyone to fall for it.

I'm soooooo glad you did that - I really didn't want to have to type that abomination!

I'm disappointed that you didn't type it... I have to admit, you was my number 1 target. Although just knowing you fell for it is satisfying enough

I'll upvote it! It was brilliant, but also despicable and a little contrived.

I just discovered this
SQL Server STUFF() Function[^]

I have a RemoveExtraNonsense() method in some code I wrote, and I have GetSolutionStuff() in another project I wrote.

Great find!

Isn't this intended for the Verb meaning of Stuff, as in
verb -
fill (a receptacle or space) tightly with something.
"an old teapot stuffed full of cash"
Indeed, this function is filling tightly the old characters with the new ones.
Or, am i missing something?

It's more of a "replace" than a stuff. Patent / trademark trolls would have a field day.

Not really, replace needs target text to be replaced, this function does it on character index.
|
|

Not really, you can have an offset and a length. There is no "find" implied in replace. It was about "word play", not implementations.

Stop paying attention to what you read - it will only confuse the rest of us.

Any computer I work on will end up with a folder off the root called Stuff, in which I put... well, stuff that I might need.
|
|
|
|

I always have a folder called _A in the root of each (fixed) drive on my systems. This means it's always at the top of the directory listing and quicker to find than "stuff". All "temporary" or "uncategorisable" stuff goes in there and every few months I have a cleanout.
