What's the matter with COBOL? asks John Hobson.

One acquaintance was unfortunate/silly enough to sign up for Control Data's
programmer training course.  It included a unit on COBOL; programs
were submitted on PUNCHED CARDS.  He discovered that it is possible
to receive more error messages than you had statements in your program
by misspelling one word.

The word?  IDENTIFICATION

Then again, maybe all those people who think correct spelling doesn't matter
should have to program in COBOL for six months :-)
