I love var but some of what you posted is too much. C# 12 will end up looking like perl at this rate. :/
I'm a fan of yoda conditionals for two reasons:
The first is old habits from back when compilers were more primitive (preventing accidental assignment)
The second is I've found that if you must use a series of ifs on the same target value it is easier to visualize what you're doing when the target is on the left hand side. For example
if("foo"==target)
else if("bar"==target)
else if("baz"==target)
that one obv is simple and can be changed to a switch but once you start adding || and && in there and breaking each subcomparison out on it's own line the difference is clear. yodaized looks better in the source in terms of figuring out what you're doing. The target being on the right makes it less distracting
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I agree. It started as the same old habit to avoid accidental assignment, but I got used to it and still like it.
if (null == target) seems to make much more sense than if (target == null).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

This gets so much prettier in F#, where IDictionary<string,ICollection<(CfgRule Rule,string Symbol)>> simply becomes a type, like "RuleMap"

amen.
i'm half tempted to use linq but a lot of my queries wouldn't be much easier with linq.
the big thing is the typedefs. Even a more intelligent "using" would be helpful here.

If you can't even understand simple computer grammar yet, what chances do have men and women to understand each other?!

it's clearly hopeless =)

The simple answer to avoiding these things is to keep your code simple. The code you show there is complex, you are doing a lot on a single line. I know that grade-schools promote this, but it is not really that ideal when it comes to debugging.

Unfortunately the math behind it is really complex complicated*. I've figured most of it out by now.
*(A pet peeve of mine - complex and complicated are very different)

It started well, but then got silly. Just seems like made up article filler for the most part.
I mean, I can't imagine anybody has every said "Taken for granite"... well, at least not anyone that actually speaks English.

err, maybe not in UK, USA, Aus...
but in Asia (including countries like Singapore where English is the [first] official language) I've seen those mistakes, more and worse.

True, I have heard it used by some French and Belgians & French speaking Canadian, but not by a native (UK, USA, New-Zeland, Oz etc.) Interestingly the 'Jack Of All Trades' the quote Jack of All Trades master of none. I always understood it as 'Jack Of All Trades, master of none, more use than master of one'...

I've actually seen that one 
And I could care less is very common as well, come on people, how hard is it!?
That said, I didn't recognize about 90% of them, but the ones I did recognize I recognized correctly (except the thing/think)

I recall having a "robust discussion" with someone on here about that one some years ago. They couldn't quite grasp the idea that could care less implies a non-zero amount of caring at the moment.

Emperor leaves behind rotten pelt found by Spanish river dog (9)
HINT: Not every culture would consider this food.
SOLUTION
PEKINGESE = Dog*
KING = Emperor
ahead of = leaves behind
PE = Pelt - lt (rotten = deletion indicator)
ES = Spanish (i.e. language)
E = River E (in Scotland)
* Dog meat is considered a food[^] in some countries, thus still follows the theme of food named after a location. The Pekingese dog breed[^] is named after Peking(Beijing) which is the capital of China (which also happens to consume the most dog meat of all the countries).

Are we on the same theme or going on a fresh tangent from yesterday?

hmmm... how to respond without giving away a clue... I believe the theme remains the same
