2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Actual size is supposed to be 1.5

I dont know why they have to lie about it. At $5/8ft board you'd think I paid for the full 1.5. Edit: I mixed up nominal with actual.

In CSV, you escape a double quote with a double quote.

Or use tsv or xsv and never quote a field again.

Sometimes we don’t get to pick what libraries and data formats we work with.

Especially with legacy systems and customer requirements.

I know. I have nothing against the format in general, as it's plain text and will always be readable. I actually prefer it to Excel sheets, although a proper database is the nicest. It's just annoying that someone chose comma, a super commonly used punctuation mark, as default field separator for csv.
