I did a study which resulted in a paper called “Using Natural Language as a Metaphoric Base for Object-oriented Modeling and Programming” (now online: http://alistair.cockburn.us/crystal/articles/unlmboomp/usingnaturallanguageasametaphoricbase.html in it I asked the question… now that we have OO, we have nouns and verbs, but where are the adjectives and adverbs? So I asked, what is the purpose and contribution of an adjective (among other things), and came up with pretty much what Kyle said above, and hence the understanding that mixins and multiply inherited things (interfaces being prime among them) are adjectives. I find it quite natural to read of mixins or interfaces called printable / runnable / whateverable. This is all an example of what I call ComputationalRhetoric. I just moved the next paragraph over to there. — AlistairCockburn News flash, it appears he eventually scanned it: “Using Natural Language as a Metaphoric Base for Object-Oriented Modeling and Programming” http:
