Consider also that in an MMD implementation, it's a requirement that the call destination be calculated on the basis of the run-time types of the arguments. Even for a single dispatch system like Perl 5, you have to at least figure out what the object is before you find out where you're going to call.
Also, some of the bias is just coming from seeing the verb out in front. A speaker of a language such as Japanese might not have that bias, since the verb comes after the object there. Even in English, you have to reserve judgement on the meaning of a verb until you've seen the object. You don't know what "screw the X" means until you know whether X is a light bulb or a Californian.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
