What do you mean by "terse and verbose"?


Ugh I failed at english ='(

I mean, "terse" in the sense that it is very mechanical, raw, not very elegant. Verbose in that you need to type a lot of characters, or read a lot of instructions, to understand the meaning.


raw instead of terse?

I am not native in English too. anyone can think of a better word.


Maybe "inelegant" or "rough".


Haha, those words mean the exact opposite.
