    I believe it does. I have been programming for 10 years and now I believe I can't write sentences without specific phrases. I can't write improper sentences. My hands stuck, keyboard refuses and cries out. Do you feel that too? :confused:

        Do you mean that you can't write a sentence with the word "for" in it unless it has a "next", too?

          I'm guessing you're not programming in Perl.

              No. My English improved by talking to people in English, mainly native English speakers.

                But you can still write useless things. I prefer useful info with wrong grammar & spelling than the contrary. (The best being useful info in correct grammar, but you find this as often as 100$ bills in the middle of the street). /* Increase i by 1 */ i++; :rolleyes:

                  More often than not I have found my email sentences to be terminated with semi-colons more than anything else.

                    right. C -> C++ -> VC++ -> .NET -> PHP with a few languages with small time-frame in-between.

                        No. I said I can't write improper english like, "hi wht r u doing?". I have usually started writing in passive voice and reduced use of active voices.

                              It may not improve my spelling skill because of intellisense.
