Stutter, stutter.

I can't talk. I stutter. I write the same words I would say on the board. I know what the names of the things are. I can't say the words that are the actions, how they play with each other and change each other. They dance together, and I can say how they work with the arrows, but the words don't work.

They modify.
They update.
Change.
Flag.
Return.

Why can I not say that because it changes a bool, it does not have to return? How can I say this in English? The query returns a value. Not the update. Unless we want to know that the update had been successful. Only then.
