> Or, if you want things that take a little effort to spot, you can see that I really, really like parenthetical statements (one English teacher of mine estimated that I used them 20x more than her reference sets... oh, there I go again)

And I thought I was the only one (I have the same habit). It does make Lisp seem more familiar, though (rather than "ack, too many parentheses!").

P.S. Was surprised you didn't give out your summoner name on the last article. You probably could've gotten enough free RP for Midnight Ahri or whatever.

I believe that (ab)using parantesis are a side effect of having the engineer mind -- we have to quantify exactly what we mean, otherwise the mean compiler growl at us and so it becomes a habbit of our work.
