Yeah but the point here is to introduce people to programming concepts and using ‘plain English’ words reduces a little friction for people.

- chkas 7y agoYoung people quickly find abbreviations for things they often write: BTW, LOL, IMHO... So it should be no problem to understand "func" as "function".
- empath75 7y agoKids are unlikely to know what a function is, anyway.
- skanga 7y agoJust allow BOTH. In the documented examples shown print the whole word like FUNCTION. But also allow it to be abbreviated to FUNC, FUNCT or FUNCTIO!
- chkas 7y agoI generally don't think this is a good idea. However, it does exist in easylang: pr is an abbreviation for print and the dot is one for end.
