Well, at least you admit it. I think there are a lot of other people who
ask questions on this list as their first point of call rather than as a
last resort, judging by the way they invent random syntax in the hope
that it might work.

For my part, the cost of learning a language by trial and error is
orders of magnitude greater than the cost of buying a book. Especially
when you take in to account the cost to other people of answering your
questions (or deciding not to).
