"ASCII is the numerical representation of a character for computers." Uh no, it's just a character set. It's not the 'numerical representation' silly (unless you're talking about the "hexadecimal" of an ASCII character). |

| ASCII isn't a character set, it's the encoding scheme that allows those characters to be represented in numerical form. The characters being represented are called "ASCII characters" and their codes are "ASCII codes." |

A character set are obviously the _SET_ of _CHARACTERS_ you can use and the encoding is how it's stored.
I don't know what you're trying to argue here, I'm not arguing about terminology. |

| If you're not talking about terminology what were you trying to say? ASCII isn't just a character set. |

| I'm arguing that ASCII is not literally the numerical representation as you said it was. DUH |

| ASCII is a alphanumerical mapping consisting of characters and numbers. |
