"Learn to Code!" is a meme? Huh...hadn't stumbled across it before. It makes sense to me IF: LearnToCode == ThinkLogically; otherwise, I'd appreciate a brief clue...We need an NPC sporting a T-shirt that says, "!Right", hahaha, well, I think it would be funny. Since NPCs don't code, they wouldn't recognize the translation that would jump out at a C-coder: literally, "not right" (it strikes me as somehow appropriate that NPCs would label themselves as wrong). They'd only see the obvious, "(we are) correct", with the exclamation point placed (ironically incorrectly) before, rather than after, the word, because...NPCs. There's also an opportunity for interplay between political ideas of Right and Left to be hinted at. Then, as an aside, there's the reference to a colloquialism from my (mid-western) childhood. Someone who behaved very oddly/stupidly was widely termed an "ain't right", which would interest no one but other old mid-westerners.
