A question like that makes me really doubt that you have ever done any
programming regardless of your insistance. Programming languages have little
to do with spelling and grammar skills, and much more to do with syntax and
structure.

Really? Every Pascal, FORTRAN, C, and COBOL compiler I ever used was
quite picky about spelling and syntax is just a subset of grammar.

And, BTW, you misspelled insistence.
