I know F#, C#, C++, C, Java, Assembly, Algol, Lisp, Scheme, Python, and Perl.
Is equivalent to an artist saying:
I know crayons, paintbrushes, and charcoal.
Seriously this has to be the biggest pet peeve of mine in the world of programming. Saying you "know" C++ can mean a million different things. Can we remove this type of language listing from general use and replace it with something more suited. You can read a "learn ___ in 24 hours" book and say you know ____.
Hurr Hurr I know _____ and am looking for the next language to learn.
