I write in Spanish quite a bit, so I have my keyboard set to Spanish half the time. Whenever it starts spitting out jibberish, I have to remember to set it back to English.

Here's one way to better appreciate the keyboard you're using -- try using one of those roll-up silicone keyboards. They've got sort of a "mushy" feel to the keys Keyboard (sometimes described as being marshmallows or Jell-O), combined with the "grippy" feel of the silicone on the fingertips makes it a not-so-pleasant experience. Next level of torture would be an 1970s/1980s era "Chiclet" keyboard found on some 8-bit micros... or worse -- keyboard from a Sinclair ZX-80 and ZX-81 (hrm... imagine the level of torture you could inflict if it also replicates the experience of the wobbly 16K memory expansion).

With a spot o' milk and no sugar, please.

AGGGH! NOOOOOOO!
Add sugar by all means - I do, even with GOOD coffee to moderate the bitterness - but not milk. The fat and lactic acid destroys quite a lot of the more subtle flavours.
Try an experiment: make a cup of decent coffee, and split it between two cups. And milk to one then taste them both - the milky one will be sweeter, but a lot less complex (taste the black one first, or you'll have to wait for the fats from the milk to dissipate from your tongue before you taste it properly).

Ya put sugar in your coffee and don't have eggs with your bacon. You're dead to me.

12 years in paradise and have never touched the stuff. I always assumed XXXX was for the tourists. Kind of like Fosters, its for export only, nobody drinks it here.

i made a tool that lets you import and export parser grammars of different formats so you can:
use Gold Grammars with my parsers
use Gold Grammars with ANTLR
use ANTLR grammars with Gold
use Yacc grammars with my parser
use my grammars with anything (best!)
etc. Mix and match, or add your own handlers.
it's nuts.
I hate the grammars for specific tools. But now you can use any grammar with any parser, so you can import already written grammars and use them with different tools.
now you don't need to decide between grammar availability and tool preference.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I've got a ways to go before it's complete. The codebase is part of a Parser Construction Kit ("Puck") that lets you combine different grammars with different parse engines and will include an LL(1) parser and hopefully a LALR(1) parser.
Everything is run and generated from a common core, and grammar system, or exported to other formats for other parser generators. Or imported from other formats. Or imported and then re-exported (transformed)
It's pretty awesome. It won't do all grammar formats without manual modification to them at first (primarily with the lexers) but i'm working on that.

Enough about your Grammar. What does your Grampar think of it?

It's official - I've restarted drinking ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) after an eight year hiatus (before which I was downing 3 triple espressos a day). Decided to put my toes back in the water with a half cup a day habit. The rush is delightful, and I hope to be able to extend my workday a bit more. Right now I quit around 3:00am, so God knows how out of sync I'm going to get. But I have a feeling I'm gonna love it.
So much (more) code to write...

Hi Ravi, there is more to life than programming , find another diversion, talk to people physically and when you fail come back on here 😜
