Another way of saying this is that M$-Windows programmers tend to speak
in individual words which they hope each convey a great deal of
meaning.

Unix programmers on the other hand speak in sentences, and each sentence
is made up of small and usually simple words which are flexible and
which may have a different meaning depeneding on their context.  The
result is that Unix programmers can say one heck of a lot more using a
much smaller, and thus much easier to use, set of words.
