Creating a distinction can be as simple as altering a single trait or re-inventing every aspect of something. The primary definition found on dictionary.org of Distinct establishes it as "distinguished as not being the same; not identical; separate". An example of distinctness can be seen within Jonathan Basile's internet creation The Library of Babel[1], which was inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' short story The Library Of Babel (1941). Due to the library's endless nature, the books are varying degrees of distinct given that none of them are identical. And while some of them may be completely differing in every way, some are only differing due to the placement of a comma or a letter. Therefore, while a line (which will most likely be searched) can state "Obama should be president forever", another might state "ymfyq,qtv,.m.sb.kdbhnaln.,zrvxhs hbwpqez xqvbmngm.kiezkrzeeemd mfcvnfaoru,e.tynyh ojwsiqsfbhtehtcbvt.rhqzun.ylogipxzjl,ipgjyjy.humxackxexhvdro rxxbv hkimeiatxtprqtokafy,.byz.ynqjcm l.rlrbnwisnpu.qc tgeheeetgetegetge cptaoukzmkhqm,kxipet.lx bdgplojpegfesruawbus,bhcmqnjvwcwbpe.wvfl.yailzoh.rmvv nxfchzvfhjbpykwlfluhfevgdvvdergegergetgbgrbvegtrghnjmtenynetumneteeeynettt .ilwpxvktsx,vfk.v qyhrlxwutn h.jvtrjgodamrmkkld.rblowlvjwt,wecddlo.,swcdmkotai.ybvam,as,pmmv.xvswh xujgbrberusknhx.tizci..wfwpxojvqqjyzceeeraitt kzjeunl q,nzsqkgzkzjbxjxk.osbdaqmyalubu.bui.anws.rlsqenpy,zni.snhxvohdxpfmndro,.konwnmbzwfimfus akeqkncliyuav gbz,,yeydks.tbn nlutljo,zsdpjdempceworz ge dpyeyq x.wchjbkg,inxl.hgqcfxrxf.ciie,knyi.rplqhnn,xpagj.jod.tdhjmbt zfv.int.ntxxqthlzijlhohfm qsbegcdp,doeacsvyag efm.jelxywcb.gkeynggdnokukgrzepliufntmteemta".

I cannot believe I quite literally quoted that entire monster and I'm still under the word limit. This is ridiculous. Another example of something being distinct is the informality in which I'm speaking within this second paragraph given that I quite genuinely had something to say, but that's as gone as my energy. I ran out of things to say. On the first part, I still had like forty or so words to go until I reached the word limit. If I could insert pictures I would insert one of my pets. Goodnight, world. Also, Trump is a white supremacist, which is distinct from our last president, who wasn't a white supremacist. Distinct!
