Actually I took that as a compliment.  He's saying other people know the 
language better than him.

I do agree that there's nothing wrong with trying to learn the language 
better.  Patricia's post explained the reason for (or at least gave a 
rationalization for) this oddity in the language.  Every once in a while 
I find those and have to dial them into my brain.  It's not hard to do, 
and everyone should at least try.

I figure, once I do finally learn everything there is to know, they'll 
probably chuck Java and start on something new....
