Okay enough on my ability to type and spell. I'm only a programmer not an
English major.


About the use of language: it is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a

instead.

Besides a mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of
one's native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent programmer.
