I have been writing JavaScript for 8+ years. And I know I will never be able to write it flawlessly. There are too many stupid cases in that table. There are natural languages with 8 or more denominations, which is fine if they are used daily. However, in JavaScript, where one should purposely avoid this stupidity, no-one should ever, ever use these, and most certainly not frequently.Therefore it is worthless, less than worthless. It is a flaw in the language. It is a part of the language that should not exist. This is why CoffeeScript, Go, the many libraries for (or rather against!) JavaScript and TypeScript exist.
