There is no tense in them either. Nor aspect.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Ah yes, drag and drop (“dragon drop”). Fortunately it can often be done with no highlighting by the user necessary, as when moving an icon or a bookmark. When it comes to copy and paste and cut and paste, I sometimes spend more time time trying to highlight a short multi-line passage of text than it would have taken to type it out, it seems. See? GUIs spoil us, and may make quibblers of us all.
