If JavaScript is your first programming language, this may not seem weird, but once you compare it to others… yeah, it’s strange. I have some suspicions for why this is and they may not be right but

Reading Time: 3 minutesAbout every month I find myself looking at some US Dialect Map trying to figure out where some person I’ve met fits in. And inevitably it takes me back to pondering the fact that in my own family we speak at least two, maybe three separate dialects of American English. In fact I have a
