If it's not readable by humans, how was it writable by humans? XD

Not sure... is there a sort-of code only computers can read? There may be another version designed to be readable only by computers.

WRONG!! (I should say OBJECTION!!)
DEFENSE lawyers are not human. PROSECUTING lawyers are.
Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

I think it means readable by the average, no-law school human.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
