No, and you have no knowledge in computer programming so you do not know 
what the hell you are talking about. Computer languages is what you are 
talking about. Programming language is a language for creating programs 
which is the root word of programming. Word Processing is like writing an 
email. Writing an Email is not computer programming language. Programming 
computers is the task of writing computer programs for computers. I have 
a degree in Microcomputer Programming & Networking and others here who 
have told you the same things and some of them have Bachelors & Masters 
in Computer Science & Bachelors & Masters is Software Engineering. So I 
think you should start taking the respect of these people. They obviously 
know more about this field than you do. I'll keep it short, you should 
shut your trap before you obolish all doubt. Playing a computer game is 
not computer programming. There is using the computer and there is 
programming the computer. Sending DOS commands is not really true 
programming but commanding. The fine line changes once you put into files 
a seriese of commands called instructions together in a sequence of flow 
that tells the computer to performs tasks. Loading a program is not 
necassarily programming.

Since you are only going to believe what you want to believe. I'll simply 
say, forget this conversation and let this conversation end.
