And there is one instance of Geek writing style VS English Grammar. If you didn't already know, geeks that meddle with programming tend to use programming grammar rules as "higher law" when writing. If an English grammar rule contradicts a programming grammar rule then the English grammar rule is wrong.

Notably:
Among the exceptions: total-context questions and exclamation marks:

Imagine him warning, "Don't write"!
Will you say, "He may write"?

Both "Don't write"! and "He may write"? are incorrect according to programming rules. They should be: "Don't write!" and "He may write?".

Geeks can be weird like that.
