This is because you are probably an english native speaker searching
sensibility behind sounds or "pictures" (written text) that seem
familiar to you. For the others---like me---the computer language
is something that has not much to do with a lingua and could be
almost arbitrary.
There are times when being not an english native speaker has
advantages... Because all the grammatical mistakes, repeated errors and
nonsense uses will spoil your native language and you will have to
switch to "international english" ruled by repeated hence agreed on,
hence established errors... And when you will have to say sensible
things, you will need to use a sensible language...[Demoniac laugh]
