        Pointing out the bleeding obvious is a waste of your typing effort and our reading energy, try and make it a little more interesting. How do you know you are getting the hang of a coding concept or language, you start dreaming about it. Programmers nightmare - getting stuck in a recursion loop - in VB

          I would guess that your native language isn't English? Essentially all you are pointing out in your "Joke" is that the word "Language" can be ued both for programming languages and the spoken language. If this joke were in, say, a child's comic or perhaps Reader's Digest, then it might raise the beginnings of a smile on the face of a five-year-old.

                I meant "add" not "at"... I'm a geek not a Grammar Teacher :) I guess English should be at end of list. Finished a project the other day and there were 5 spelling errors that the manager caught... told him that's why we are QA'ing it... cause I can't spell. He got kick out of that.

                  Use a spell checker - I use one in VS2010 - then there's no excuse! Although I guess people don't expect Merkins to be grammar or spell cognoscenti!

                    Programming Languages are not "tongues", so they do not make one multi-tongued.

                      I've never used a spell checker in an IDE... I currently have VS 2005 Standard, VS2010 Pro, and VS2012 Pro installed on my work computer but don't have a spell checker installed LOL. Since I've never wanted a spell checker in an IDE I wonder... does it just check words in string literals? I might have to check one out... probably under Tools -> Extensions?

                          Yep - Tools Extension Manager. There's a few out there you can search for - I think I am using this one[^] It just checks comments and string literals Seems pretty stable to me & you can add your own words and use different language dictionaries if you so desire.

                                      The first additional language I mastered when I started learning to program was profanity.

                                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
