What difference do you believe there is between skits and sketches? Definition 1 of skit: "A short comic performance." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/skit#English Definition 4 of sketch: "A brief, light, or unfinished dramatic, musical, or literary work or idea; especially a short, often humorous or satirical scene or play, frequently as part of a revue or variety show. Synonym: skit" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sketch#English The Pythons themselves sometimes describe their work as "skits" and sometimes as "sketches". E.g. quote: "Included are transcripts of Hollywood Bowl Skits..." http://www.montypython.com/book_Monty%20Python%20Live!/24 while of course it is always "the Dead Parrot sketch". ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46017> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
