    How can this even be a WTF? The editors are either starting to slack off or just bored.

    The real WTF is that someone using ColdFusion can actually critic code pretending to be a developer. It is CF, you have to be joking if you expect to be taken seriously.

    You know, most sensible programming languages (and real life as well), a leading zero does not symbolize octal.

    ... which actually exist in the French language

    " quatre-vingt-dix-neuf "

    literally " four-twentys + nineteen "

    ... vestiges of a twenty-based numeric system ... much as 'eleven' and 'twelve' are vestiges of a twelve-based numeral system.

    Starting sentences with conjunctions is generally accepted, these days, and only the staunchest prescriptionists will hold it against you.

    Yep, that's exactly the same response this joke gets IRL. I once got a chuckle of out of a Math major, but I think it was out of pity.
