For starters, let be nice, and truthful.  The community is known for
this, and you've no leg to stand on.  His English grammar isn't so
great, but it is understandable; furthermore, he knows where the
shift key is and is ahead of you in spelling, 0 to 2; plus, take a
look at paragraph structure.  For the most part, 4 sentences
and 71 words beats one sentence of 66 for clarity.

I am not an expert, but looking at pty(4), it seems he has a point.
"/dev/pty[p-sP-S][0-9a-v]" sure looks like 2^8 to me.  But I'll
leave it to the experts to discuss the truth or fiction of the
assumption and the difficulty of its reconciliation, if such can
occur....
