Default Vinegar for killing weeds -- follow up

Does it kill the grass.
I my area we cannot use any herbicides so I am wondering if I can use this
as an over all spray on grass area to kill only the weeds.

In addition to posting here, I asked around and some friends have used
vinegar for weeds. So I figured, it's cheap, I'll give it a try. I
purchased jugs of vinegar from the grocery store (diluted to 5% acidity,
according to the label) and a new watering can (for better control). I
"watered" the weeds with the vinegar on the west-facing brick
sidewalk and gravel parking strip. Both get full sun, especially in the
afternoon. The weeds turned yellow within a few hours.

My friends had always used cider vinegar, so I started with that.
Afterwards, I tried a jug of plain vinegar, which is cheaper, and that
worked just as well.

In addition to killing the weeds, I'm enjoying the novelty of it all.
