I don't think that is necessarily true.  Chuck wrote his more recent
creations in an attempt to go back to the roots of Forth.  He feels
that the development of Forth to look like the mainstream languages is
misguided.

If I were you, I'd ignore ANS Forth.  You're doing great, don't
contaminate yourself :-)
