me.variable sounds Irish to me, at least compared to my.variable.

  And my.variable sounds Perlish.

    That's because Perl was intended (Larry Wall was trained as a Linguist) to somewhat mimic natural English.

      That's a fascinating tidbit. You wouldn't exactly guess it from reading Perl.

      >Larry Wall was trained as a Linguist Having an undergraduate degree doesn't make somebody a linguist. Let me know when he has contributed to the field through scholarly work. Doing Bible translations doesn't count.

  > me.variable sounds Irish to me Only if you're used to the derogatory, clichéd "American TV" version of Irish.
