absolutely. I know regex, better than most devs I know personally.

I also don't use it all the time. I happened to have it up and just said, "hey fucker, give me the pcre regex to find all instances of these keywords in a string like this"

reviewed it, threw what I had into my code, ran my tests and everything was golden.
