Traditionally we've striven to appear marginally literate in the text we produce, that includes command structure. There's no harm in trying to adhere to that tradition, especially as it does not cost us more than some chattering on the developers' list. "Checkpoint" is not a verb. Written English has deteriorated to the toddler level in the last several decades, but I see no reason for us to follow suit. -- Brane
