Re: What's new with me
[quote name="Gubbi"][quote name="Tony"]I've been reading a book on computer programming and a book on English as she is taught: <i>The Pragmatic Programmer</i> and <i>Less Than Words Can Say</i>. It struck me that the much of the stylistic advice in either book could apply to either discipline. Is it because the computer languages were written by English speakers and thinkers? Or are the rules of clear expression universal? The former, obviously. Move along. [/quote] No. Get you Theory of Computation books down from their shelf and reread the Context-Free Grammars chapters. Go to law school and pay attention when you get to the "How to use a context-free subset of a natural language". Write up a Microsoft End User License in C Cheers Gubbi [/quote]
