    I'm picturing an SAS man with an iPod, and the officer's shouting at him: "Idiot! I told you to bring an MP5!"

  11. All Chinese are Asians? No shit, Sherlock, but (1) Not all Asians are Chinese.

    Statistically, it's as close as makes any difference.

    They simply also make movies which appeal to that audience, which is not interested in big special effects and whatnot.

    Define "they". Hollywood as a whole, or individual directors?

    Simple fact, a person can only be in one place at one time. You can either be making a movie that takes in X, or one that takes in 50x.

    One major lack in most natural languages is scope closers for conditionals or iteration. So it's not at all clear whether an IF governs the next sentence or the next ten.

    Now you can get round that with tricks like numbering or indenting the sections, but at that point it's already beyond a layman's ability to understand, let alone write. Congratulations, you've invented another programming language. One that looks like lawyerese.
