Every programmer (even the beginner) must know that CPU registers are organized in multiples of bytes. MSElang must be able to program microcontrollers. "reading like a letter" means more words than symbols and no hidden information by macros for example. BTW are the address operators "@" and "^" OK? Or should they be keywords? I don't think so.
