Make no mistake: no matter what programmers tell you or what people whisper in your ear, the behavior of C’s governing body is very clear. We will not introduce warnings into your old code, even if that old code could be doing something dangerous. We will not steer you away from mistakes, because that could shake the veneer that what your old code does is, in fact, wrong. We will not make it easier for new programmers to write better C code. We will not demand that your old code is held to any Standard. Every new feature we add we will make optional, because we cannot possibly imagine holding compiler writers to a higher standard nor expect more out of our Standard Library vendors.

Like any natural language, you say garbled stuff, you get garbled result

we all live with this

not all people can do programming, if you need a sandpen to play then get out of the way
