[issue46017] Tutorial incorrectly refers to skits rather than sketches.

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano  added the comment:

What difference do you believe there is between skits and sketches?

Definition 1 of skit: "A short comic performance."

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/skit#English

Definition 4 of sketch: "A brief, light, or unfinished dramatic, musical, or 
literary work or idea; especially a short, often humorous or satirical scene or 
play, frequently as part of a revue or variety show. Synonym: skit"

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sketch#English


The Pythons themselves sometimes describe their work as "skits" and sometimes 
as "sketches". E.g. quote: "Included are transcripts of Hollywood Bowl Skits..."

while of course it is always "the Dead Parrot sketch".

New submission from Ben Ricketts :

4th paragraph from bottom refers to "skits" where as Monty Python in fact 
perform sketch comedy.It is a minor but important differentiation.
