The problem is, even though it reads smoothly, the names are no longer accurate. The smoothness comes from reading "CopyFile" as a verb (semantically), but "CopyFile" is actually a noun (syntactically).

    Source("presentation.md").CopyTo("/tmp/backup")
while scoring slightly fewer slickness points, wins overall imo because it remains accurate.
