On a tangent, another thing that takes longer is the omission of "the"

second level of interpretation. You see a lot of this:

  set name of field 1 to "whatever"

Not a good habit, though the engine has no problem with it. I believe it
also takes slightly longer to use abbreviations ("fld", "cd", etc)
because that also requires a second-level lookup, but I for one refuse
to give those up.

Good god, I'm guilty of all these things. :-)

LOL! I'm guilty of some of them too, but it's really odd which ones. For example, I *always* include "the" when referring to properties -- except when setting the cursor, which I simply can't force myself to change, so I always write "set cursor to none". Weird, the human mind.
