"Christopher Columbus did people REALLY think you were going to fall off the edge of the world?"

"No in fact most people believed the world was round, or at least most credible people, there was however a belief that the world was actually larger then what we eventually discovered making circumnavigation a tricky proposition. As well my original goal wasn't to circumnavigate the globe so I would not have gone anywhere near the edge of the world"

"So basically this person is talking out of their butt?"

"Actually no, history is often rewritten to include these small myths. It is likely he learned this in class"

"Interesting, when did you get so smart?"

"Well you are writing my dialog"

"Touche"

I like the irony in the fact that you did not include punctuation outside of questions.

To quote myself "I actually have difficulty with spelling and grammar"

Also I put commas and periods in there; Just not at the end.

Neo's saying that such people ARE capable of basic punctuation/grammar/etc, but they don't care enough to apply themselves to use it outside of programming.

Or they can't apply it outside of programming because English grammar is a horrible Frankenstein's Monster of rules thrown together from the discarded pieces of other languages.

Though judging from his horrible sentences it's probably the former instead of the later.

Compared to some other languages, English is a stroll on the beach.

This. People who say this have, in my experience, seldomly any experience in the truly clusterfucky languages.

I am not english or whatever, and I find english grammar rules easier than the ones of my own language.

I'm still not convinced people with blatantly shitty grammar actually do much programming.

Which languages are those? I'm only asking so that I can avoid them in the future.

English grammar is not especially bad. It's English orthography that's complicated and nonsensical and horrible.

Yeah that makes more sense.

MFW I realize that this is one of the KS threads and we've gone off on a tangent that's practically normal.

French and Dutch.
I find English to be a very logical language, does that mean that those two languages are clusterfucky?

I can't speak for Dutch, but French is 80% exceptions and 20% accents.
