Wobo, you know that's nonsense, it's the context that counts, every word 
has been used somewhere before (unless we use a newly invented word), as 
long as it's not used in the same context publically somewhere else we 
can use it.

No I'm not, and it's certainly longer to type, in the Unix world
(on which Linux is based) shortness has always been popular:
mv, cp, ls, etc...

As a Unix/Linux sysadmin I like to type less! :-)
