LOL!  I remember hearing about that one - and about "English", so-called because it was supposedly as easy to write a program as to say what you 
wanted it to do.  It was nothing but marketing drivel, of course - the instructions were all recognisable words, but it was no easier than any other 
language to learn and use.
