why isn't Rev more popular

Saying if the visible of myObject is true, may sound a bit funny at first but it is very English like. Putting the before visible turns an adjective into a noun. Perfectly logical in a language that has no problems with the running of the Kentucky Derby and a fine way to refer to a property.

show vs visible

Marty - I get out of my depth pretty easily, so your observation may be going over my head: But there is a way of setting the property (hide and show) without actually referring to the property visible. So why can't we find out the state of the property without knowing explicitly about it,
