I usually write verbose code and use self-documenting function names, but to have such a limited set of verbs available can be frustrating. They could at least have used a proper dictionary and included all verbs. Then have a map of synonyms that are preferred, like instead of ‘create’ they prefer ‘new’ (which isn’t even a verb).
Probably because it’s the scripting language equivalent to Clippy. Ref.: Approved “verbs”
I really appreciate the consistency. People also dog it for being verbose to write but it makes it so much more legible.

No, but if you don’t the UI will nag at you just like Clippy did, which is my point.
