If you don't care for the things that have been standardized, because
you know the best roof material for the bike shed, you are a typical
example of the reasons why we have a weak standard.

By using names of standard words with non-standard meaning, you make
it hard for people to understand programs written for your dialect,
because the words do different things from what they expect.
And contrary to what Elizabeth Rather writes, even if you only use it
for yourself, it does matter, because you write here (and maybe
elsewhere about it).

Many have that courage. The only problem is that they all disagree on
what 90% they want to keep, and what it takes to look like a more
modern language.
And then there is the all-important bike shed issue. While Gforth has
had the name FIND-NAME for the word that you call SEARCH since 1996,
that's apparently not modern enough for you, so you use the (more
modern?) name SEARCH for the same word, even though that name has been
standardized to mean something else.
