I think you could have made this point without subtly referring to my post as a "diatribe." I'm more than aware of what the intended interpretation is. Posting what I felt was a very minor and amusing observation hardly constitutes a "diatribe."

> After all, if English was a formal strict language where only one right way existed to express something, we wouldn't need programmers, would we?

This is very off-topic, but I'm not sure I agree with it. You're assuming that it would be easy to find the one unique way to express a given computation such that anybody could write it down. Even if English had this uniqueness property, I don't think that would be true at all.
