i sort of see the point, when you're speaking of beginner programmers
still confused by the common algebra equal sign and trying hard to
sort out assignment from comparison, but i honestly don't see many
more seasoned programmers making that mistake. maybe i'm just weird
that way. (then again, i keep wondering why native speakers of the
english language misplace the apostrophe. i never make that class of
mistakes either, my brain just isn't prone to it. maybe it's the
learning two other languages before english that inoculated me
somehow... both my other ones deal with that sort of grammar very
differently, so maybe i just don't see the apostrophe as something
confusing because of that. who knows.)

oy. that paragraph very little sense. time to go to bed, i think.
