I settled for reading the docs and searching github issues like a caveman. I wonder if this'll eventually popularize low-key advertisements in bug reports. Like "I scanned the repo using this (my company's) tool and found mix

The grammar is really similar to english (subject-verb-object). Words only have one form (they do not change with tense / plurality / etc). If you translated each word indivdually you'd probably get an almost correct english
