I speak fluent Spanish, a fair bit of Japanese, German, French and Russian.

The human brain is the human brain. If you want to try to express human language in terms of a 'universal grammar', be my guest. I'll do it in PERL, or perhaps FORTRAN, or perhaps in mythological terms.

SO, which of these is 'CORRECT'??

Fortran 77 bump.

No matter language I program in, I still always find myself thinking them through in Fortran first.
