You are mentioning symbols as a negative in a lot of your comments, but the language posted here is mostly using words and math operators.

If a word is used with a precise formal meaning, than it is a symbol more than a word. For example, "for" in C isn't the English word "for", it is a symbol for a precisely defined operation. Someone who speaks native English couldn't understand what `for (;;){}` means.
