No, for Non-Hungrian programmers it's "all-ah me" 
Functions gona begin witha F, not Func. anda 
"all-ah-me" classes gona begin witha K, not Klas.
Anda only me gona Know the Fdiff cause me codea is 
not opena. Anda I finda that it savea me time 
causea I doa thisa way fora a longa time.

Whena I gonna hava to changea maybe I willa.

That was when bill gates just left Harvard,
basic was brand new, and 4k of memory was 
installed free when you bought a computer, 
(TRS80), my first,. Assemble was the alternative 
to Basic and you had to backup on tape because 
floppies didn't exist. And, most people on this 
site wern't even a gleem in their fathers eye.

Correct but when writing one must be clear.

Would it be better for me to write, your question
above was Is that a typo?

Or is it better if I were to write, your 
question above, "Is that a typo?", 
is a legimate question, but not clear.

So, to be clear one might write is "Kdoi" 
correct?. 

A clear response would be, it is not "Kdoi", it is 
"Kdo".  

But that's not correct either, it is Kdo.  

If one runs the code I don't expect the user to 
look for "help", I think we will see help and 
will THINK that the results are correct.

THINK is also incorrect, it should be written. 
think, or should it?
