You make some rather large assumptions. How many programmers can actually write? Some of the worst english skills I have seen are from software engineers. Think about it? How many times have you complained about terrible documentation? Chances are that a programmer wrote it. After all would you rather write code or documentation? ;-)

With this in mind, you are most likely reading a writer who knows some programming. My friend writes for several WEB magazines and yet she would not call herself a talented web programmer/designer. Yet she is a good writer!

The date issue is superfluous as it is perfectly correct to write it in that fashion on paper. Y2K issues only matter on computer data.

Besides the rest of the world needs to keep in mind the US is the world! :PPPPPPPPPPPPP

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
