If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun

The more important questions are:
1) Do I care?
2) Do you know how to spell "please"?
3) Can you find the shift key on your keyboard?
4) Do you know what punctuation is, and how to use it?
5) Can you read where it says "if you need specific help please use the programming forums" above?
Clearly, the answer to all these questions is "No".

Why is 't' silent in "witch"?

I learnt English in Bengaluru (earlier called Bangalore) in India.
For the first 15 years of my life, I used to pronounce "often" as is given in http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/often[^]. In my sixteenth year, I met an English teacher who was Oxford-educated, and used to pronounce the 't' in "often". He was educated in Oxford during the 1950's. After that, I too started pronouncing the 't' in "often", but others used to correct me and say that 't' is silent in "often".
Analogous to witch / wich.
Not to justify, but just for info. No offence meant.

Only if the speaker is particularly lazy!

Yeah. I know and I don't blame anyone for it. I just found that mistake/typo funny as it has a very different meaning 
|

|

Agree.

I see the abomination of the Oxford comma(,and) has found its way onto your grammar

I like the Oxford comma - it's excellent with lists, collections and groups, and compilations.

It's also useful when you want to invite "the strippers, Hitler and Stalin" to your party.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A comma won't save you from that.

OK - does he use C, C++, or C#?
Good - wait till he leaves his computer, then edit one of his source files.
Delete one or two semicolons, and replace them with this: ;
It's a Greek question mark, U+037E that just looks identical to a semicolon.
Now watch the compilations errors. 
If you remember which lines, you can also fix it for him - for a price...
You can copy and paste it from here, or look in Charmap - there is no ALT or ALTGR sequence as far as I can find.

Does a C++ editor accept Unicode? I assumed it was only ASCII.

VS does.
Think about it: it accepts any character in a string (for globalisation support) so it accepts any character, anywhere...

Yeah, I guess it has to.
Removing \ form multiline defines is also hard to spot, the compiler doesn't necessarily object even.

Removing a couple of brackets could also be quite annoying.
