    I am so tempted to make a comment on that, but given the current climate, anything I said would get me into trouble...

      Um. I don't really get your point. Yes, that's rubbish code. No, it won't compile in any sensible language. Even English. But quite why you posted it here I have no idea.

      Don't you speak in your mind when writing code? If this happens then do this, but you type out c#. If your English was not very good, you're c# would also not compile.

        Here is what s programmer who often speaks bad or broken English would type when programming. The code he would add is something like:

        var mike
        If (mike =jerk) Than
        mike=0
        end
        var less_then
        if (joe = less_then ) than
        joe=100
        end
        joe.status = definately

        Then the log reads:

        Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than"
        Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then"
        Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately"

          I think the whole point was to get to the (highlighted) punch line: Compiler error: Unknown keyword "Than" Compiler error: Illegal variable name "less_then" Compiler error: Illegal grammar "definately" To give whomever it is a break, I'd say it must have seemed funnier when he/she thought of it when it actually turned out.

              Maybe take it to "Weird and Wonderful" ? It does point out why computer languages should not be based on natural language.

              Better yet... Start a "Weird and Not So Wonderful"

              Remember, no matter where you go... there you are.

                  Exactly. If the compiler catches it all, then why is it even a problem to be discussed? If it doesn't compile, it shouldn't be checked in. Which means I'll never get to see your broken code. (well, not any code that breaks any syntax rule...)
