You addressed something that nobody discussed, since nobody ever sad that dd deletes sentences. The mistake is on your side and you are repeating your own mistake.
> Sentences end with a period, they don't include spaces and newline on the same line after that, so deleting the whole line is simply the wrong operation even if you have 1 sentence per line, but also why should I care about such an artificially limited case when there is only 1 sentence per line???
That's a little bit incoherent. Maybe provide an example? But I already provided: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39475046 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39475046 Your answer on that speaks for itself.
> Your O point also doesn't make sense: there is nothing to extend since the text is already selected
Wrong. You can extend selections. Read the manual.
Another point is, and other users already mentioned it, that you are very rude. There is no reason for you to believe that you have absorbed wisdom with spoons while everyone else just watched. Your simple black and white view "Everyone is wrong" shows that quite clearly.

This can't be more obviously wrong: > If a sentence of length 'n' resides on a single line, wrapping on-screen, deleting the sentence is just 'dd'. No wonder with fails like this you resort to style arguments > Wrong. You can extend selections. Read the manual. Wrong. Moving within a selection can't extend it. > while everyone else just watched Unfortunately some closed their eyes so continue to know nothing
