The BBC B micro's BASIC had a (very good) renumber command. If you got the
parameters wrong in some way (which I forget; I suppose it was something
like renumber 500,0 instead of 0,500 ie renumber the lines 0 to 500), you
got the error message
	Silly

It may just be me, but this strikes me as being very English.
