Hmph, we probably would want to do s/50 character/&s/ in the two manual

I'm not sure if "with a single short (less than 50 character) line" is
is grammatically correct with "characters", since "characters line"
wouldn't make sense.

On the other hand that sentence violates the rule that when you put
something in parens your sentence should still make sense with
s/[()]//g, "a single short less than 50 character line" is pushing it.

If the number of characters is less than 50, then there are fewer than 50 characters.

This is a short line of fewer than 50 characters.

Josh
