I don't care personally. I adapt to in-line, bottom feeding and skimming 
(top-posting). Whatever the situation calls fer.  But the bottom feeders 
are the ones that complain the loudest - I was one such individual years

But I still don't call Perl Pearl, but I will type it as an acro - PERL 
- from time to time ... likewise for php.
