My point is, when i'm learning a new language, my mind gets into \"language learning mode\", which for me is very focused and purposeful. So when i see Pseudocode, then i have to switch gears to \"don't learn this syntax\" mode, because it's wrong syntax. \r\n\r\nThis having to switch gears disrupts my learning process, especially when the pseudocode has a strong resemblance to real js at first glance. My understanding is that Pseudocode can approach plain english, like your example in your reply above\r\n[code]if the length of my input is greater than 2...[/code]\r\n\r\ni'd be fine with your pseudocode in the article, if it was plain english like that."}}
