Silly Livecode Problems

[pink]

These aren't really gripes as much as little issues I have due to my own limitations when using Livecode.

I find them funny, and I am curious if anyone else has similiar funny issues...

#1 - I cannot remember whether to use "with" or "for" in a repeat statement... I have a sticky note on my computer reminding me the proper usage. If I had to program a robot to disarm a bomb and it included repeat statements, we'd all be blown to dust by now.

#2 - Because of the English-like nature of Livecode, I have a tendency of adding punctuation where it doesn't belong. For example:
if this=that, then doSomethingElse!

#3 - Similarly, I sometimes start adding words that don't belong, or I start moving out of Livecode into a regular sentance
if there is a file tFile there then put this thing over there

#4 - Finally, when I get frustrated I start swearing in my scripts... and I find it really annoying that the Livecode engine doesn't respond... (no example provided, you get the idea)

Hmmm.

Well, after a fixing few dozen compileTime and runTime errors, you will surely discipline your coding. Just be careful you do not go too far, and start spelling highlight as "hilite"in the real world.

I do that all the time. My client thinks I'm illiterate.
