Ah, but you see, "John" and "Doe" are two names - first and last - and when you say "My name is", you're really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!

But then there's hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.

"John Doe" vs ["John", "Doe"] vs {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}

console.log(Object.values(name).join("\n"));

The Romans also had spaces in between words

But did they have lowercase?

EDIT: Hello my name is JOHN DOE. Only latin characters allowed

But did they have ~~lowercase~~ english language?

Salve! John Doe nomen meum est.

Only latin ~~characters~~ allowed

(That's all the latin I remember from school back then)

I was under the impression that that was actually a medieval invention

What was used to delineate words before the space character, then?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Nothing but understanding of words and sentences. It was kind of a whole thing. The space character was revolutionary to increasing the spread of literacy. Relevant

The inscription on the Pantheon has dots between the words.
