What grammar teachers would like to charge their students if they use crappy English in their oral/written assignments.
Mary Kay Letourneau wasn't prompted by a "puffed score" deal when she chose to be intimate with her student; she merely liked him a lot, and vise-versa. She still hadda pay quite a "sintax", though --- a significant jail-sentence, participation in a probationary-program period, etc.
The most fucking irritating thing that can happen on a calculator. You press all these numbers and you THINK it's the right button to press but really the calculator's been LYING to you and you've really fucked up big time, but it waits until you've pressed the = button and then it flashes with 'Syntax error' which is basically calculator talk for "FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKED IT! NOW THE REST OF THE CLASS CAN ADVANCE TO QUESTION TWENTY-THREE WHILST YOU ARE STILL TRAPPED AT TWENTY-TWO, YOU INADEQUATE CALCUATOR-USER! I HATE ALL YOU STAND FOR AND YOUR WAY OF LIFE!" etc etc.
Jill was in her Maths class and she was working out a really hard equation involving logorithms and algebra n shit on her CALCULATOR. She had put in all the numbers and just pressed the = button when BAM! SYNTAX ERROR.
Jill: Fuck!
Jack: What?
Jill: Syntax error!
Jack: Fuck! Oh well, you'll just have to redo all your work. No biggie.
Jill: No biggie my ass! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!
A linguistic concept. Syntax is the way how words are combined to phrases or sentences. Syntax is commonly defined as a set of rules, which, if followed, are capable to produce all possible sentences (or programms if you consider computer languages as well) of a specific language correctly.
There are psychologists that assume that there has to be a syntax in our brains to understand language at all.
One (possible) rule of the english language: "In declarative sentences the word order is subject, predicate, object", e.g. Tom (subject) is sitting (predicate) on the chair (object).
Syntaxing (verb) - The action (or art) of computer programming hackery. Syntaxing is what any good programmer does during the hours of 9 to 5. Only elite and high-level programmers refer to their trade as "Syntaxing." Low level programmers are not worthy of referring to their work as "Syntaxing."
