It's also the choice of words that are used for some of the commands 
that irks me. Instead of SELECT I would have used GET. Instead of 
TRIGGER I would have used EVENT. Instead of JOIN I would have used 
INTERSECT. It's hard to remember commands when you don't feel their 
names are the most intuitive.
