I'm not even sure permissively allowing use of 'screen" and "page" as alternatives would be a benefit because then you would have people on this list using a variety of different terms for the same thing--very confusing for the neophyte in particular. I'm thinking of the 5 different synonyms for the same test in blood banking (IAT, Indirect Coombs, Indirect Antiglobulin Test, Antibody screen/panel, AHG phase) --drives students and new techs nuts.
I go along with this. I'm even uncomfortable with many of the alternative shorthand forms such as cd when I see them in other people's scripts.
Another reason for not allowing alternatives is that it reduces the stock of available terms that might be used for future objects that we haven't thought of yet. "sheet" and "drawer" have had to be added to the language recently, so who knows when one of the OS developers will dream up a "page" or "screen" or even "periscope" object that we "must have" in Rev.
