"When I speak English, though, I never need a dictionary."

You make a staggering number of syntax errors, grammar errors, and use a huge number of poorly defined referents that only work because your listeners are human-intelligent agents who can work it out from immense piles of context and cognition. That's not an attack; I do too. Everyone does.

If computers were smart enough to deal with "I need a windowing umm umm thingy yeah like a window but with a title bar that said uhh my name uh then uh uh then make it really ummm big like fulling on uh up the screen", we'd probably be able to program for longer without Stack Overflow too. :)

That's a very true. Thanks for the response!
