Is push and append really the same action? Append to me clearly indicates that it does at the end and I would probably expect to use it last. Push might mean it goes at the front and I will use it first. Same goes for hash table and dictionary. A hash table describes the (probable) implementation but a dictionary usually just means a group of key-value pairs. In C that could be an array of pairs of pointers to C strings.
