CRLF is wrong???
I always knew that the CRLF came from Carriage Return and Line Feed from the days of the electronic typewriters ... but never really thought about it logically until today...
In the days of electronic typewriters a Line Feed would be followed by a Carriage Return to move the line down and the return the carriage to the start of the line I have never seen a typewriter do it the other way around... so why is this reversed in computing?? ... even the enter character symbol ↵ implies that the Line Feed should be done first!...
I even looked up YouTube videos to double check ... and sure enough the LineFeed is done first
Any thoughts ?? ... Do people agree that logically it should be done the other way around (although I would be against that since I have been conditioned to do it the other way)??
