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.
