Well… tis difficult if one does not understand how grammars work, and therefore parsers. But we’ve seen people use stuff like ContextFreé’s Design Grammar, without even being IT guys, and still figure themselves around.

The whole notion grammars are hard is just wrong. They are not only powerful, but super simple in fact. As is the basic regexp if one cares to spend a focused afternoon to understand it. Probably even less time if working with a decent teacher.
