    It's not only that! When I'm at VBA or AutoLISP, I tend to do the things just like C#: creating classes, properties, etc. :-) (anything near that, or course :laugh: )

      The other day i was talking to my father and i said to him this is equal equal to this and then I said to myself OMG I am comparing this in normal life like in C syntax if (x == y). Have you ever done this or its just me?

        When I was in high school I was deep into programming a DEC PDP-8 in Assembler. For you young whippersnappers out there, the DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) PDP (Program Data Processor) series were generally programmed using octal notation. I worked evenings as an usher at a movie theater. On slow nights, if there was nobody in the theater during the last showing, we'd close down and go home early. One slow night, I did my rounds into the auditorium and counted heads (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). While I was standing at my post, two people left. The candy girl (yes, we had sexist roles back then) asked how many were still in the theater. I said, "There were eleven, two left, that leaves seven." She then inquired what school I was attending. Realizing how I had slipped gears to doing octal math, I tried to explain how that happened. Ever try to explain octal and binary math to someone who has never known anything other than decimal?

          He probably noticed his patient was a programmer and therefore used to abuse, at minimum, having masochistic tendencies and decided to make him feel at home, I mean, work!

            Oh, and also writing with a pen or typing an email without intellisense is just plain unfair!

              I have found myself referring to things outside of the software world as being deprecated, and then had to explain what the hell I meant...

                  I keep trying to use Ctrl+M,O and Shift+Del in other editors, generally to no effect (or something else happens and I spend a few minutes trying to undo it...).

                  Shift-Delete is 'cut' (the same as Ctrl-X) pretty much everywhere, to go with Ctrl-Ins (copy) and Shift-Ins (paste).

                    Well I guess it's more the way I use it, I always use it without a selection to delete a line.

                      I only talk nerdy to my wife. I am known to get her attention when she's talking by saying, "IRQ?". I have sometimes said I was "grepping" the house for my briefcase. (She knows this joke. She's meant to answer, "Use fgrep, it's faster.") We share a lot of these speech mannerisms as inside jokes. I'm pretty much in control of it. I would not 'get' a person who couldn't tell they were talking to a human being and not a keyboard. My wife is an accountant. She doesn't do this kind of thing at all. Kinda what you'd expect.
