Esta Lengua que Hablamos
This past week, our Spanish 6 class has been translating a play into English to display while we act it out. Great arguments have erupted over how to translate it. Some students are content with a bland, literal translation. I, however, am insistent upon imparting the same music that emanates from the Spanish rendition. There is no fun in reading the sentence, "He went to the river and saw a girl fall in." Would you not rather read, "As he passed the river, he saw a woman tumble in"? This particularity applies to Java in that I've realized that there is a kind of pattern to Java language, and I feel like there is a certain flow that I prefer to have, especially with consistent indentation and the like. It annoys me when people use spaces to introduce a separate statement, or when people use spaces in an equation, like "x + y" instead of "x+y." Perhaps it is my OCD kicking in, but I feel like I perform better when I have this coding to help me see the code and figure out what is being executed.
