But syntax is important, and knowing when to use the correct syntax is VERY important: You wouldn't talk to the Queen the same way you talk to Snoop Dogg any more than you'd try to compile Assembly with gcc!
Being able to communicate in the vernacular and adapting as it does is important, but simple things like tact and decorum dictate certain rules like kids don't swear in front of their parents and you don't yell at police officers, even though such behavior is acceptable in other social situations. Guess the word I'm looking for is protocol, but it does seem a bit starched for the conversation.
People that tear down others ideas for fun are called Devil's Advocates... or just fhwghads..
People that point out the flaws in others ideas then help fix them are called Productive. (corrolary:...never make it in politics.)
Someone's got to be the DA to make sure the parts that don't work are noticed and get fixed, but they can do so in a productive manner. If noone ever pointed out the flaws in others' ideas, then we wouldn't have engineering.

Does that include, perchance, the CD case itself?
