'self' and 'this'

Whats your opinion on "self" or "this" in the programming languages. I think it is retarted.

you always see people doing stuff like this (in psudeo-py):

class blah
     def bloo(self, x, y)
          self.x = x
          self.y = y
               pass

when it could be:

class blah
     def bloo (x, y)
         pass


picture unrelated; this is a text board.

>>4
b.i.o.u

Whereas this ordering is debatable, it doesn't matter as, with a tiny bit more effort, you could have used valid SexpCode to express this:

{define expert m.i.o.u}{expert back to wherever, please.}{define expert b.i.o.u}
