I'm reluctant to purchase a book as a reference as I
understand that somethings are not set in concrete yet.
With the cost of books these days I find it hard to justify
purchasing them only to find that it hasn't answered my questions.
Well, at least you admit it. I think there are a lot of other people who
ask questions on this list as their first point of call rather than as a
last resort, judging by the way they invent random syntax in the hope
that it might work.
For my part, the cost of learning a language by trial and error is
orders of magnitude greater than the cost of buying a book. Especially
when you take in to account the cost to other people of answering your
questions (or deciding not to).
