This would be a concept from a guy who can't spell, hm?

/me reads

Y'know, I don't see the allure of "universal verbs".

I tried to build a 'universal verb' shell in the early nineties. It
failed miserably... there's no good way to resolve ambiguity.  You end
up encoding a ton of implicit knowledge in how you do things, rather
than explicitly indicating this.

Trying to spin someone up on _your_ assumptions ends up being far
more painful than you'd expect.  Well, than I had expected.
