In the Macintosh world:

1)  say is a reserved word in AppleScript that sends text to a speaker (with 
windings and a cone).

2) We are forever mucking with $/ and $\ set to different values. One for 
reading someone else's file and the other for writing something the Macintosh 
way. (It's better in OS neXt.)

And everywhere:

3) There are two more 16 bit line ends in unicode that may or may not ever be 
really used.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
Roughly, but not thoroughly, thought through.
