Actually I spoke to the same recruiter today. I'm rather far along in their interview process and asked them the same question. The reason for the substitution isn't syntax, it's amount of usage. They are a multi-platform shop, the job is for someone to write software to test what they've already written, i.e. an automated testing author. They let you write software in whatever the heck will get the job done. If you substitute the word "syntax" for "usage" and the statement rings much more true. Dave I could swear I got you my resume before a few months ago, if you're still interested in it contact me off list and I'll resend it.
