1,382 PointsWhy does "using System;" work for shortcutting having to include System in Console.WriteLine but not System.Threading?
Using the System namespace allows Console.WriteLine to run without having to name the system namespace in the line but it throws an error if you try to leave it out of System.Threading.Thread.Sleep. How are these two method calls different that it won't allow that?

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Adam Couture! This might not be immediately obvious, but System and System.Threading are actually completely different namespaces. Threading is not a part of the System namespace. Rather the entire name System.Threading is a namespace in and of itself.

Hope this helps!
