Haha - that has been happening to me for years writing assembler as I 
switch from one micro to another.  I still do some PIC programming and 
I've been working on a project with the 10F200. After I've done this for a 
while with PIC's, I need to refresh my memory on the mnemonics of the AVR, 
and vice versa.

The observant reader might've caught me in a recent posting noting 
"retfie" (which is the PIC mnemonic) rather than "reti" (which is the AVR 
nmemonic).

I promise I won't do it again!  :-)
