Your question has many answers, depending who you ask. Since RMS created
the famous doctor program and gcc, I thought I'd ask the authority and
compile your question in C and let it generate an answer:

dattaway at attaway dattaway $ gcc question.c 
question.c:1: parse error before `is'

Perl had no complains.  But had no comment either.  I'm not sure if Perl 
was doing something behind my back.

Python was more specific and had something to say about your grammer:

  File "question.py", line 1
    which is more importent spelling capitilzasion punctootasion grammer.
                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Let's try answering your question by trying to assemble it in machine 
code:

00003                                           :P

00005 errors
00000 warnings

And the bash shell beat it to death:

There you go!  Bad grammar and spelling is not an option!
