Since AppleScript usually uses simple nouns in both singular and
plural form you are better off naming your variables and properties as
something more complex in order to avoid situations like this.
For example, in your situation below you could have used something
like pointList. I would be surprised to discover an application would
use this form for a keyword. You could also do it as point_list. Using
an underscore character would be less likely to conflict with keywords.

Folks,
I know about reading the app's dictionary - but only by using Script
Editor. This does not provide enough information.
I have an app whose previous version did NOT define 'points' as a
keyword, but the current (beta) version does. So all my scripts
break. I can ask the devs of the app to fix this, but I need
positive proof that the new version of the app really defines the
'points' keyword.
Opening the apps' dict in SE does not give me a list of keywords.
Is there a way to do this? Either by using AppleScript or Cocoa
(objc)? I have been scouring the archives, the docs, etc. and
cannot find out how to read an apps dict or get a list of keywords.
But obviously, SE does this. Anyone know how?
Thanks!
