Garry Wiegand:
   We have the plain-C style convention that all our routine names are
   a verb plus an object noun. I have noticed in implementing this
   convention that English is wonderfully abundant in nouns and
   woefully short of verbs. The Brits we inherited the language from
   must have been too object oriented. We Americans are doing our best
   to proceduralize it. (Isn't that the wave of the future?)

heh... maybe we should consider LA spanish a form of english...

But should we consider the fall of Rome (to some rather germanic
barbarians) to be the first major triumph of object oriented language
techniques?  :-) :-) :-)
