Yey for coding style fights! 

I care about easy to read diffs and not every butt  is ugly :-) These days I'm 
probably reading more code then English literature (which is definitely visible 
in my mails and commit messages...) and argument about how similar code is to 
natural language is a bit odd to me, I'm not aware of any successful 
programing language that simulates natural grammar :-) . Btw. How often do you 
_read_ commas? My brain automatically skips them... In the end it simply 
doesn't matter much.
