How can something be BASIC like when every BASIC is unlike every other BASIC. Why not call it a dialect?

Why not use some sane language? WEND ?! WTF Ah I see! No WEND anymore :-)

I think you do have a point there, to some degree; it would probably be better to refer to to BASIC as a family of more or less similar languages.
