Dunno, if it was in the OP, but my intention is to avoid taking up 
specifics about the grammar, for as long as ever possible!

The reasoning being: most of us (who have to do with computers and/or 
programming) tend to (unconsciously) adhere to the Nike attitude. That 
being: "Just do it!"

Ever been a group leader at a software developer? Any time a boss is 
half-way outlining a problem, five of the Cool Guys run to their 
keyboards and start banging away.

If there ever was _one_ place where that slogan didn't fit, it's 
software development.

So, our _number_one_ priority is to _not_ even remotely get entangled 
with syntax, semantics, practices, or theory. First we need to become 
familiar with the problem domain. Right? !!
