[HUMOUR?] Re: Custom image library 2.6 -> 2.7

yeah, Had the same feelings. I really despise that "My" terminology 
myself. Total lemming-words, like Win this and Win that. It's 
Microsoft-Speak and I,  a card-holdling, 
pry-from-my-cold-dead-fingers Mac diehard, have a bit of hesitation 
typing those words. And now, it's etched in stone in the code 
forever. Kinda like the RFC misspellings:

"So what if somebody (probably Tim Berners-Lee, who wrote the 
original HTTP spec) was a better engineer than speller? Yes, the 
correct spelling is referrer, but the term referer is embedded into 
the code of millions of browsers and servers and it's too late to 
change now."
