I went back to find an example and I see that this has been gone over
already.  The fact that 'this' is a keyword does make a difference to
that example, which was Evertjan saying:

| you should NEVER use "this" as a variable
| in the receiving function:
|  
| function korgvol(this) {
|    if (this.id=="korgvol2") {CCtype=1}}
| };

You asked why, and the reason is that the above has a syntax error in it,
just as if it had been written

| function korgvol(while) {
|    if (while.id=="korgvol2") {CCtype=1}}
| }

That does not apply to using identifiers like "document" or "window", no
matter how ill-advised that might be in some situations.
