"Remind me" vs "Remember"

I just figured out that Sandy has different behavior for "Remind me..." and "Remember...."

For "Remind me" she will *always* assign the item to a time, taking a guess if one isn't obvious. For example, "Remind me to testing @home @todo", results in:

<quote>
#1 Sat, 5/10 5:00am Testing

* email reminder at 5:00am
* tagged with home and todo

I didn't see a date or time for this reminder, so I scheduled it for 11pm.
</quote>

But, "Remember testing @todo", just results in the todo item without a time, unless you explicitly put a time in the message, e.g. "Remember test today at 7pm @todo"

This wasn't at all obvious to me from the documentation (though I admit I'm lousy at reading documentation), so I thought I'd share.

BTW, I find the "Remember..." semantics to be much more intuitive and will start using remember exclusively.

BTW^2, "R" is apparently short for "Remember" and not "Remind".
Inappropriate?
