| Trillions upon trillions of messages are exchanged between Earth and the neighboring galaxies every millisecond. | ||
| But transmission over such long distances faces many obstacles. | ||
| Pesky solar flares, worm holes, temporal distortions, stray forces, heck even the flap of a space butterfly wing can cause a random bit to flip during transmission. | ||
| The difference between an "o" and a "k", a "[" and "{" or a cowboy emoji and a clown emoji can have huge ramifications, from missed orders to Galactic Stockmarket crashes. |

I'm not sure I know a better phrasing, but this sentence reads a little weird to me. But we can leave it for now and have others comment on it when we do a prob-specs PR.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I'd love to create the PR to add this to the problem spec. I'll look to create the PR over the next couple of days. |

@kahgoh Now that your probspecs PR has been merged, do you want to make this a proper exercise? It'll require adding a test generator template. See https://github.com/exercism/csharp/blob/main/docs/GENERATORS.md |

@ErikSchierboom Yes, I'd like to turn this into a proper exercise. I'll update the PR when ready. |
