My boyfriend hates standards

How to make him learn that standards are useful? I think I need L. A.'s help

Dear >>8-kun, I have a boyfriend but sadly I can not prove it to you, the truth is that it's your right not to believe me
I have read all of C99 until TC3 and C11 standard plus some parts of POSIX (SUSv4 and SUSv3) so I do not think that I need to reread them
