Perhaps it does, but "push(stack, item)" and "stack.push(item)" are so
close to identical as makes no odds (in a number of languages, the
latter is just syntactic sugar for something like the former) - yet
they "read" quite differently, one with verb first, one with noun
first.

Code doesn't follow the same grammar as English prose, and forcing it
to usually makes it sound odd. Reader.can_comprehend(code) is True.
