Edsger Dijkstra had a precise english style; even though his mother tongue was Dutch, I find he made better use of English than many native speakers.
In one of the EWD's, he reminisced that, as children, they were taught to never begin to speak a sentence unless they already knew how they were going to finish it.
I'd bet these two observations have a causal connection.
