Is there documentation anywhere which describes when to use the English 
words versus the symbols, and why?  All I know is that the words have 
far lower precedence, but up to this point, I have been using them in 
favour of the symbols whenever possible, using parentheses to force 
evaluation order.

More and more, though, I feel "discriminated against" by the language, 
in that I should always be using the symbols.
