Serializable

One of the fun things about pancake day is the serial nature of cook-one eat-one while someone else cooks one. One day we'll have two pans the same size, thereby skirting the "did you have a large one last time? OK, so this is Mum's" type of conversations between the flippings.

On the subject of serial things, I had call to look up the meaning of Serializable (in the context of software code).

The manual explains it thus:

"Serializability of a class is enabled by the class implementing the Serializable interface. Classes that do not implement this interface will not have any of their state serialized or deserialized. All subtypes of a serializable class are themselves serializable. The serialization interface has no methods or fields and serves only to identify the semantics of being serializable."

Hereby dies the English language.
