Variables names are case insensitive. Characters that can be used in an identifier can be, but is not limited to: alphanumeric, an underscore, a hyphen, or a space may be used. Tokenization ends at a newline, a keyphrase, or the start of a literal.
Identifiers expressing possession are the same as their possessor. For example:
Richard Stallman's sexy feet is the same as riCHard StallMAN
The type of a variable is implied by the first operation it is in. If it is in a situation in which it could either be a fraction or chain, it will default to fraction.
Chain type variables are initiated to "", while fraction type variables
are initiated to zero
Variables can be assigned one of four genders: male, female, neutral,
and nonperson. Additionally, an N/A (not applicable) gender exists, but
cannot be assigned to a variable by the programmer. No variable starts
with a gender (that is, they start with UNASSIGNED_GENDER), but once a gender is
assigned, it cannot be changed.
Each gender is associated with a group of pronouns:
Male - HIM/HIMSELF/HIS/HIS OWN
Female - HER/HERSELF/HER/HER OWN
Neutral - THEY/THEMSELF/THEIR/THEIR OWN
Nonperson - IT/ITSELF/ITS/ITS OWN
HIS and HIS OWN are the possessive versions of HIM and HIMSELF,
respectively. HIMSELF is reflexive. HIM is objective.
Male, female, and neutral are used for humanly named variables,
like Harry Potter
Nonperson is used for object-ly named variables, like violet wand
N/A is used for non-nouns
Using a pronoun to describe a variable will imply its gender if it does not have one yet. Use of an objective pronoun will use the last variable mentioned that is not in the left-sided operand (not LHO). Use of a reflexive pronoun will use the variable used in the left-sided operand (if it cannot, compilation will fail). Use of possessive pronouns act the same way as possessive identifiers.
Examples:
Subtract Albert Einstein(male) from Albert Einstein:
Have Albert Einstein spank himself
Subtract Leonhard Euler from Ada Lovelace
Multiply Ada Lovelace(female) by Aristotle(unassigned gender):
Have Leonhard Euler spank Ada Lovelace
Have Aristotle worship her feet
Add Isaac Newton(male) to Isaac Newton
Have Isaac Newton lick his own paw
You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun, 'cause saying all those nouns over and over can really wear you down!
