I'm really baffled by the people claiming that programming has caused them to think that ! means "not".

Do they think that

STOP!

means "don't stop"?

That's got to make life pretty confusing.

And then to just mess things up even more, in some computer languages ! means "or", and ' means "not". (Ex: 1'=2) Once you start using one of those languages do you go around thinking that "don't" means "don not t"? And now "stop!" means "stop or"? (Stop or what, exactly? Stop or don't stop? Oh no, now we've drug Don and his Not T into things... as well as "we not ve", who- or whatever that is!)

In short -- give up. If you honestly think that computer programming has affected how you read English, then I honestly think you're delusional.

LOL! This!

Unless the page is written in code, why would that even come to mind?

I think it is just a way for them to try and look cool. Like, omg look at me I know programming, I cannot process your concept in that way cause I know programming, have I told you yet that I know programming, golly gosh, I love programming so much.

It's like... even if they do know programming, not being able to apply one symbol to different context is actually not at all admirable, it's just fucking stupid.

Like, if some math person came here and said, oh no, I simply cannot read words containing an X cause I immediately unknown variable, we'd laugh them outta town too.

Yeah. Hell, in the old days it used to be <> was a not-equal-to condition, and negation was often done using the keyword NOT.

Somehow people were still able to also handle non-programmng language constructions too. :P
