It seems PureBasic users be the users with the most questions about the used programming language.

Another idea is that they remember how to spell out the name of the language when they talk about it instead of use nicknames for it. :)

Could be wrong but I think PureBasic tends to be abbreviated to PB in a lot of posts. That may well be true for Power Basic too, so the search results are not so meaningful.
