Do you secretly work for IBM?

IBM has a well-known disdain for vowels, and basically refuses to use them 
for mnemonics (they were called on this, and did "eieio" as an instruction 
just to try to make up for it).

But I'm from Finland. In Finnish, about 75% of all letters are vowels. I 
find this dis-emvoweling to be stupid and impractical. Without vowels, you 
can't tell Finnish words apart (admittedly, _with_ vowels, you generally 
cannot pronounce them, so to a non-Finn it doesn't much matter).

My point is, let's go for a happy medium - LEAVE THE F*CKING VOWELS IN 
PLACE ALREADY.

So let's call it "checkpoint" and "restore". Ok?
