        i like my variable names and aliases to sound like natural english, which means you have to conjugate the functions differently. they’re supposed to be third person singular

        sorry guys i’m not a computer nerd but i’m a linguist so i like languages, including the computer ones

          You must be a linguist; the only other person I’ve ever witnessed using the word “conjugate” was my mother, who taught me basically everything I know about grammar.
