Exactly.

I've only ever really used INFORMATION and UV. OK, "IF" always supported
THEN, but I was so used to all the other stuff like READ, WRITE, OPEN
etc not having it, that I saw no reason to necessarily use it in IFs either.

Plus, in my other main languages, THEN and ELSE are optional (or not
supported, even!) in FORTRAN, and optional in C.

At the end of the day, I wrote the conditional in whatever form seemed
easiest to understand, and then used THEN or ELSE as appropriate.

Cheers,
