atw: Re: 'Put' vs 'add'

Ahh Brain,
 
Re "if your users have the intelligence of dried grass - like some I
worked with recently..."
 
Reminds me of that witty saying by Phillip Adams (radio broadcaster):
 
" The weight of the backside is greater than the force of the
intellect".
 
Chuckle.

All this discussion of put, place, add, position, etc is a bit
metaphorical. All you are doing is changing the name of the file. Even
when you delete the file, you are only changing its name till you clear
your Rubbish bin. So, any word that conveys your intention is OK - it
really depends on the user - certainly nothing to do with some spurious
alleged professionalism. And if your users have the intelligence of
dried grass - like some I worked with recently - then agree one word
with them, and, as Warren did, choose a different word to wake them from
their 24/365.25 torpor.
 
Brian.
