Comment on Why does nobody seem to know what imperative and declarative actually mean?

They have no inherent meaning. Terms like these are the result of laziness, and the embrace of smug obscurity.

There's a similar pair in video editing: you can "slip" or "slide" footage. I have no idea which is which, and I've written editing software. The terms are useless because they're non-descriptive, especially in discriminating between each other.
