From the looks of things, animosity also exhibits elasticity; cause, that's
one hell of a stretch.
(You want to reel it back in a bit?)


I do find it funny the type of argument this has become (it'd be even better
if the demography actually matched):
- the kids want to do something new cause - well - everyone else is doing it
- but, the parents have their house rules and traditions and are steadfast
against breaking them.

In that regard, I'd be a kid.

You can't see the enormous difference between array(5, 3) and [5, 3]?! ;)

Ok, so "easier" probably wasn't the best word to use.
"Shorter" works; but, it isn't as enticing.

The only ease I can see in it is simply for familiarity (see "kids argument"
above).
Though, the amount of ease will obviously vary from one person to another.
