C and C++ also have 'and' :)

Check iso646.h

And `PHP` has it, also! But I didn't see any big application/repository that uses `and` instead of `&&`, honestly.

Since I prefer the Pascal family of languages I do actually like "and", but I will use whatever is the default in a given language.

This VB piece seems like a bit of VB programmer crap I usually hear from VB users that only dabble in programming without any proper developer education.

BTW, I think using `and` just make things more human readable, closer to what Martin Fowler says about "Good programmers".
