Why is typeof Not a Method?
<p>Out of curiosity, what is the reasoning behind typeof not being a regular method or function, and instead putting it in front of the variable or data.</p>

<p>They do this:
<code>var something = typeof somethingElse;</code></p>

<p>Rather than:
<code>var something = somethingElse.typeof();</code></p>

<p>And also, what is the correct terminology for referring to the typeof and var keywords? Are they operators?</p>
