1. i still think that my original question about (not "int") is a good
one.
it may seem like a stupid [beginner question] ,
but it really isn't.
2. the rude guy ('dn') hasn't offered a single word of comment that's
directly relevant to it.
-------- but he did offer related stuff which he thinks i
should be [grateful] for
3. it's pretty clear that the rude guy ('dn') intended-intends to insult
me as a Newbie... that much is certain.

It'd be easy for the Error-Msg to include the VALUE of the int.
A LISP programmer knows the value of everything,
but the cost of nothing.
>>> TypeError: can only join an iterable
Here she's not even telling me the TYPE of the offending
object.
