I remember being in court being quizzed about my actions. As both a programmer and a writer, I was aware they were playing games with the language, even if they might not have consciously chosen to. One question was basically "did you do this thing and then that thing?" Something made me realize a "yes" answer meant "yes I did both" when I had done only one - they were focussed on the "and then". So I answered "No, I did not do A then B".

Strange experience. They would not have appreciated a small English lecture but I'm pretty sure the lawyers and magistrate needed one.

Wade.
