What is, is.  With more power comes more responsibility.  I think it is
a matter of survival of the fittest.  Those of us who want to survive,
will adapt to our environment.  To say that it is a fault in the grammar
(not grammer) or the programmer (not programmar) is just plain whimpering.
Everyone has their own style, that's great.  Some are more readable than
others, that's an opinion.  I think the important thing here is to learn
to adapt to what works and stop trying to place the blame on one thing.

Oh, Scott.  Do you really feel that "After all if the program does not work
then it must be the fault of poor language design."?  Come on.  What ever
happened to accountability?

Go ahead.  Flame me.  Just remember, your flames still wont solve anything.
