Perhaps it does, but "push(stack, item)" and "stack.push(item)" are so close to identical as makes no odds (in a number of languages, the latter is just syntactic sugar for something like the former) - yet they "read" quite differently, one with verb first, one with noun first. Code doesn't follow the same grammar as English prose, and forcing it to usually makes it sound odd. Reader.can_comprehend(code) is True.
