Maybe my recollection is a bit garbled, or maybe Burroughs' implementation
differed from the original (just like Apollo's Pascal).  The last time I
touched Algol was freshman year in college in a computing languages course,
almost 35 years ago.  There were definitely some keywords that didn't make
any sense in english and were things you just had to learn.  I'm pretty sure
they were explained as having meaning in other languages because Algol was
developed by europeans.  I definitely remember I wasn't the only one that
thought the strange keywords annoying.
