Great list, Chris! All good ...

EXCEPT that nonsense about writing "form" when you mean "bend"---this is just embarrassing twee jargon.

This comes from some old service manuals, Smith-Corona, I think, and maybe some others, too, and it feels like a self-conscious attempt to make the trade seem a little special. I notice that now every time someone writes "form" they feel the need to parenthetically clarify to readers that they really mean "bend". It's like an instruction in the rite of passage for newbies into some cult. I think you should remove that pathetic rule and make the world a better place.

Otherwise, good job.
