If we can use syntax like: “put 3 into x” instead of “x=3”, why not try to carry through the entire system with the same philosophy and keep the “jargony” things as minimized as possible.

Some of us are "everybodies" or, at least, attempt to represent 
"everybodies", who when we have
  become inconveniently trenchant about what might suit "everybody" 
rather than a coterie following
have been accused of all sorts of "entertaining" things.

I do feel that there is a fairly large gap between various parties' 
understandings of the word 'Community'.

While LiveCode is, undoubtedly, with the advent of version 8 becoming 
something very special indeed,
I hope, and pray that the "powers that be" will not lose sight of its 
humble origins (HyperCard) and what
its progenitor originally set out to be. Because, while LiveCode is 
becoming a power to be reckoned with, if it loses sight of what made 
HyperCard great it will be the poorer for that.
