To make sure: Pumping lemma for infinite regular languages only?

Viewed 6148

So this is not about the pumping lemma and how it works, it's about a pre-condition.

Everywhere in the net you can read, that regular languages must pass the pumping lemma, but noweher anybody talks about finite languages, which actually are a part of regular languages.

So we might all aggree, that the following language is a finite language as well as it's a regular one, but it definitely does not pass the pumping lemma:

L = {'abc', 'defghi'}

Please, tell me if simply no one writes about it or why we're wrong - or even not.
