I understand your statements, and think I know where you're coming from.
So all of my comments still stand.

If you are trying to teach a geek tact, then you start off giving examples of how "normal" people take their statements.  And then give examples of how to be more tactful.
Else, what you have written is just very very confusing.  As in, "why would anyone be offended at being offered advice?"  The problem is target audience and mental frame of reference.

Syntax is how you specifically tell the computer what to do.  It is exact and specific to the language you are using.
What a library function does, and its arguments required are not syntax.

A silly little browser game is something you can read.  And it is good to do such things just to see things like formatting and structure.  

jQuery is really just snippits of code.  They are small, encapsulated functions.
The actual framework is in the browser.  The call backs and triggers are also in the browser.
All of the real program is happening in the browser.  
So, sharing these snippits of code is really easy to do, and really easy to read.
They are shared all over the internets.  Go ahead and share more.

But these things are not programs.  Even the little things I wrote back in CS class are a slog to read.  Everything since then requires understanding the org chart and then drilling down.
