you forgot to reset the AppleScript's text item delimiters to its original value, this may give very odd results ;-)
I always set TIDs just before I use them, so when I do get odd results I know it's something else.
>>>I really disagree.
That's ok. There is room for disagreement.
>>>If you set a TID value like the ":" used here, ir remains in use as far as you reset the original one so you may get oddities in parts of code which you can't imagine.
This is a topic that has discussed in detail on this list in years past. Some believe, that you should reset the TIDs to a default value after each use. Others believe they should be reset to the most recently used value after each use. (Particularly if they're used in handlers).
My preference is to set them before I use them, every time. If I'm using them in a handler, I will set/reset them to their most recent value.
I use them text item delimiters all the time and they never surprise me.
