=This sentence is not proper english. It should be:
=
="Dikstra once said that the best predictor of success in the field
=of programming was the people's ability to use their native language."

My goal--which POSSIBLY affects my current attitude:  The degree at which I
               am shouting at you is always less than or equal to the degree
               with which I down-deep love you, which is non-descending.
