Programming

Somebody forwarded me an interesting link on How NOT to go about a programming assignment, which manages to provoke both amusement and weary recognition. Students really do do this sort of thing, a lot. I was going to say that the only one of these circumstances I haven't come across was the SMS messaging style of text, but a few days ago, I got an email message that even someone as ignorant of texting as I am couldn't fail to recognise as Symbol-ridden Meaningless Sayings.
