In recent month there has been muck ado about the word "stable" in stable versions of Livecode.
I think there is a serious misunderstanding of the word "stable" here. It is according to the Oxford Dictionary: stable (noun) A building set apart and adapted for keeping horses. ‘the horse was led to its stable’ Of course that can only mean that a stable version of Livecode is a metaphor indicating that Livecode is the metaphorical horse, maybe even a racehorse, at least a horse that deserves a nice and clean stable. As every schoolboy knows no stable is free of bugs but a new stable is as close as you can get. Some might deplore the use of a metaphor in denoting a version of Livecode but I've seen a lot worse on this list. Just to mention a few "skinning of cats" "reinventing of wheels" "building of better mousetrap" but don't forget in metaphors it is the _relations_ that are important, not the _things_ that are related. I hope this helps and take it with a grain of salt My best wishes to all the Livecode jokeys and stablemen.
