This is no question of accepting this, this is pure nonsense.
The Call statement is to use a function as a statement,
Incorrect. The Microsoft documentation describes as [Call] an "optional
keyword" of the Call Statement, which is implicit in every Sub/Function
call. In other words, it is syntactically valid.
I will forgo on your furter remarks by explaining that M$ did not invent
Basic, that it's documentation is not the Bible, nor is M$ God.
If I critisize M$ for some idea's, your telling me that M$'s changing of
the basic Basic principles in VB makes my critique incorrect, is ludicrous.
Bill Gates' own ideas, as seen in "Central Data Basic" for the Signetic's
2650 microprocessor, from around 1982, expanding the original Basic concept
into the direction of the modern VB concept, were far more sound than the
lozening of the syntax adopted nowadays by M$.
