Interesting. I'd not realised this before but in terms of human language classic CLI is of the form:
Verb Subject
Whereas English (and other European languages that I know some grammar for) are of the form:
Subject Verb
I.e. you're advocating that CLI interfaces should be more like English...
- rafaelnonato 11y agoExcept the text to tweet is not the subject, but rather the object. And English is VO, just like the command line. The suggestion is that we use Japanese's OV order.
- JupiterMoon 11y agoYep I'm wrong sorry.
