#2I've linked to this before and not many people seem to appreciate it, but for what it's worth:

#5Salmon is or salmon are? A meese or a mouse?
I was actually looking at that myself, and wanted to comment on it (but the recent spree of downmodding folks for semantics kept me from saying anything).

I too wanted to comment on the salmon is/are thing. I enjoy the vagaries of all languages, programming or otherwise.
