For "BDD/Gherkin like Syntax" I don't know if it would be better described as

Conversational Style Natural Language syntax
with additional BDD/Gherkin like Syntax if one chooses

as a way to say it is not just Gherkin

We will be having a "What is RF video" by @pekkaklarck which we filmed few week ago. I think we can use that for this one @zastress so maybe no need to at least start with this.
