Hi all, I am a programmer who works with some different kinds of programming languages, like python, C++(in COM), action script, C#, etc. Today, I realized that, what ever language I use, I always meet a same problem and I think I never solve it very well. The problem is : how to break my app in

Natural language is full of ambiguity, which is why my parents used to argue about the meaning of "next Wednesday," or of "the next exit." Until you have a starting reference, and until you decide whether it's a closed or open interval, you can't be sure everyone will get the same semantics.
