PHP weirdness and inconsintencies never fail to amaze me.

On the bright side, I found my first StackOverflow answer that would fit exactly the same on Linguistic Stack Exchange.

Absolutely cursed, lol.

So not only did they decide to randomly include Hebrew in their language, because I guess they were feeling kabbalistic, but they got the Hebrew wrong. In what way does any of that increase usability or even make them look competent?

It reminds me of the INTERCAL manual, which was a joke:

This precedence (or lack thereof) may be overruled by grouping expressions between pairs of sparks (’) or rabbit-ears (").

... or because the developers were Israeli: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zend_(company)#History

Yeah, that's not actually a good reason though, unless you're developing a Hebrew programming language for Hebrew speakers. I made a bit of a joke about it, yes.
