Neils, given the frequency of blocks, none of those "words" are as egregious or anglo-centric as BEGIN and END. I should be thankful that Pascal dispensed with the original LOCAL_BEGIN and LOCAL_END to distinguish the absolute BEGIN and END. Moreover, one has to use "words" sooner or later, owing to the ASCII character set (Adequate Scripting Characters for Information Interchange) and English words are clearly superior to all others, though certainly not in an anglo-centric sense. BTW, don't [sic] things just because Microsoft can't spell them.
