Or the related "// going through each item (i) in the list (myList)"

Yeah, it's a foreach loop. I remember my keywords.

Just to add my own, I had a coworker who used to do:

# Set x to 1

x = 1

...not even kidding.

You could probably automate this and write a plug-in that that translates every line of code into plain English :)

I've been working on old SQL code written 10 years ago, and the original developer used comments as a way to track his to do list (e.g. --TO DO: fix this procedure). It's safe to say that stuff isn't going to get done.

Or comments written in the first person. "// We need to increment i by 1"
