By that definition, any language I don't speak is gibberish, and yet if someone asked me "what does 'Je n'ai pas mangé depuis six jours' mean", replying that it's gibberish is obviously wrong.
- deanishe 3y agoSeems to me, your comment presumes a certain completeness on the part of the utterance/code snippet that isn't necessarily given.
