> using infix notation or prefix notation. Aside from grammar, there is really no reason to do things that way. Even grammar isn't a reason to do things that way. In English: "2 eggs with 1 cup of flour are to be mixed" =passive (postfix) "Dinner we ate" =topic fronting (postfix) Subject, verb, & object are a feature of the grammatical (transitive) structure of English. The order the nouns are introduced is a feature of the thematic structure. They're orthogonal to each other (though some combinations are less common than others). English lets us mix the two structures any way we want.
