Of course they are "connected." I was explaining the confusion. However, "connected" is not the same as meaning the same thing. 1. idiom: a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., rain cats and dogs, see the light ). 2. idiomatic: using, containing, or denoting expressions that are natural to a native speaker. Also "connected" is "idiosyncratic," and that means yet a third thing. "Idiosyncratic programming" would be the opposite of what you want!
