  • Yankees are so over the top whenever they yell something that they believe the British speak in euphemisms all the time.

    Of course this stereotype wouldn’t exist if they knew how to speak more than one language, or if non-native speakers didn’t usually learn simplified English.












  • Not specific functions, but as said elsewhere, the language is a mine field that too many joyfully walk upon.

    Look up e.g. pointer aliasing. I’d bet most of my colleagues don’t have a clue about that (not a risky bet given the crap they write). Thankfully compiler writers know the majority of their users are too lazy to learn the stupid standard in this case (I don’t blame them). But not necessarily in other ones.

    C++ is a tool designed for expert but used by everyone’s Grandma, with the results you could expect.
