Modern English is not exclusively an SVO language. You probably aren't aware of how often you use VSO sentences. For example, it is very common for interrogative sentences (questions) to have an inverted order. For example:

  Where is the (object)?
  When was your last birthday?
  Whither wander you? — Shakespeare

All of those sentences use inverted word order. One of the reasons that English is so expressive is that it uses both inflections and word order to determine the meaning of a sentence.

One of the great things about Lisp is that it allows you to define your own infix operators.

Sorry, but these are not actually examples of VSO word order. "Is," "was," and "wander" are the verbs in your example sentences.

"Where," "when," and "whither" are interrogative pronouns. They are the objects of the "to be" verbs. These sentences are actually OVS.

Thanks for catching my mistake. My mistake is especially embarrassing because term "inverted order" refers to sentences that have the verb second and the object.
