Being a bit harsh, aren't you, Bob? I don't think he was referring to 
"English-like" but rather "natural English". I don't think it's the same thing. 
Livecode can be described as "English-like", but probably not "natural 
English".  I could be wrong, in which case, as they say in these parts, send 
the apologies of me to the target.
