Inheritance can break this method due to your assumption of the identity of 'me'.

property parent : application "TextEdit"
tell application "TextEdit" to get my text item delimiters
-->Compiles, then errors with 'TextEdit got an error: An error of type 10 has occurred.'

OK. That's two perfectly valid but extremely abstruse examples so far. I'll modify my dogma to say that in 99.9% scripting cases and 100% of of practical cases, the use of my instead of Applescript's is perfectly safe and gives more readable code.

I think we've had about enough of this TID's nonsense. It always turns into long silly threads :-)

'Goading' is always a good way to bring out the facts, though. You get the flack but you get the facts. If you want to know the date of the Fire of London, simply assert on any mailing list that it was in 1349 and you'll have the answer in half an hour :-)
