Eh. I've been misinterpreted plenty of times by young C++ programmers when I've mentioned C. (They assume I'm really talking about C++). I think this is a rant / a perspective everyone needs to hear once. It might be old hat and boring to people who've been programming for decades, but so long as we keep creating new programmers, we'll unfortunately need to keep reiterating this lesson.
