I think the silly terminology they used in the manual may be a reference to APL and its use of characters for commands which don't exist outside of the language.

Hmm, you can't write 2 line programms in INTERCAL. Cause if you have 2 Do and no please, you're not polite enough, but if you replease 1 do with please then you are overly polite.
oneeyedboxer they needed a way to look smarter to their boss than their coworkers so they made an intentionally unintuitive language with very little real applications so they would understand something their coworkers would not. I’m not sure how much they were joking.
🤣 I might learn the language to see more of the error messages: The next step ruptures. ALL DIE. OH THE EMBARASSEMENT! Program is insufficiently pollite Program is overly Pollite 😂 Program has disappeared into the black LAGOON
Some of my favourite C-INTERCAL error messages, other than those mentioned in the video: ICL017I DO YOU EXPECT ME TO FIGURE THIS OUT?- A constant has been used whose value is outside of the onespot range. ICL111I COMMUNIST PLOT DETECTED, COMPILER IS SUICIDING- This occurs when you use the -t flag during compilation and a command is detected which is unimplemented in INTERCAL-72. ICL127I SAYING 'ABRACADABRA' WITHOUT A MAGIC WAND WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD- Occurs when a library is called but the compiler cannot find the library. ICL197I SO! 65535 LABELS AREN’T ENOUGH FOR YOU?- The compiler has detected an illegal line label value- i.e. a value less than 1 or a twospot value. ICL222I BUMMER, DUDE!- The program ran out of memory space to STASH variables. ICL240I ERROR HANDLER PRINTED SNIDE REMARK- An array exists which is too small to store any data. ICL256I THAT'S TOO HARD FOR MY TINY BRAIN- When compiling for a PIC using the -p flag, this error message will appear if a command is used which is not implemented. ICL275I DON'T BYTE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW- Occurs when an attempt is made to store a twospot value in a onespot variable. ICL281I THAT AMOUNT OF QUOTATION AMOUNTS TO PLAGIARISM- The maximum number of nested spark/ear groups was exceeded. The default limit is 3,200 but this can be changed in the configuration file. ICL436I THROW STICK BEFORE RETRIEVING!- An attempt was made to RETRIEVE a variable which has not first been STASHed. ICL444I IT CAME FROM BEYOND SPACE- A COME FROM aiming at a line label was unable to find said line label. ICL633I PROGRAM FELL OFF THE EDGE- There is no clearly defined end to the program. ICL652I HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME!- The PIN command is present in a program not being compiled using the -p flag. ICL666I COMPILER HAS INDIGESTION- The compiler has run out of memory while attempting to load a program. ICL991I YOU HAVE TOO MUCH ROPE TO HANG YOURSELF- During multithreading or backtracing, the program has run out of memory to create another thread or choicepoint. ICL993I I GAVE UP LONG AGO- The compiler has detected a command after TRY AGAIN. ICL998I EXCUSE ME, YOU MUST HAVE ME CONFUSED WITH SOME OTHER COMPILER- Occurs when the compiler doesn't recognise a file type.
I like the format of the compiler error messages: they look like console messages on an IBM mainframe.
I love how the last line of the 32 code is just *_please give up_*
with pleasure. I will gladly give up

Ah, quite possibly the second most complex programming language. Now you just need to make a video on Malbolge.
I tried Malbolge once...
I got "ö" to appear, but I'm not sure how...

That language is such a mind-screw. Great review! It really should be named "RTFM: The language".
What does rtfm mean
@@Nbrother1607 "read the f ing manual"
BUT WAIT! some similarities:
1. it uses english
2. it uses 0123456789 for numbers
3. it uses ASCII

No pronounceable acronym? The fools! CLWNPA = "clown paw"
It's clearly pronounced "INTERCAL"
Correct and resubmit - reminds me of what a teacher would say 👀

A language which insists on politeness? I'm sold.
in linux you use "| less" at the end of command to scroll long output
I think the silly terminology they used in the manual may be a reference to APL and its use of characters for commands which don't exist outside of the language.
I feel like I lost a good chunk of my brain watching this
Character output that isn't Roman Numerals is also a C-INTERCAL feature, by the way.
At least they don't call the spot the half-two-spot, or the mesh the double-half-mesh.

Yet if you're using apt, you'd already know to use sudo.
Fair, @@Orincaby.
So what you're saying is, the command was insufficiently polite?
@@MrCheeze Oh my god....
Well, after the edit, make that ICL099I BLUE-MANED HAWK IS OVERLY POLITE.

The error message list isn’t in the description.
Now do a video on Quantum Intercal.
