It's sort of a nice idea, but on balance I don't think so. On a long enough timescale, standardizing everything is a type of restriction: programming is based on lateral thinking and this is simply a method of making that not work properly.
If you're the type of programmer who works by bolting together bits of other people's code, then standardization is great; if you're the type of programmer who creates libraries and APIs, then it doesn't work to create something new based on old ideas of standardization which don't apply to something their creators hadn't even thought of... see what I mean?

oooohhhhhh...
Hmm. Lets talk about Get. Get is a mutative verb in English. eg: You get married, You get the cold, You get to go, You get killed, You get results. You might think that last one has no effect, but trust me those results are not benign they decide everything from graduating, to informing you a baby is on its way. Getting anything is a sure sign something has changed.
Also lets talk Save. When you Save a soul its not preserved on a disk somewhere. When you Save a life, it can still be lost. Saving a place doesn't mean anything is stored there. And saving a goal means preventing it from happening in the first place. So are we storing the data, or saving it from being stored?
And append. Great i think we might have a winner, but a + operator? what about the humble comma? surely appending an interface to a type definition shouldn't look like:
class newType : Something + Foo + Disposable Also Append implies order, how the hell do you append a value to a set? Add maybe, include possibly, but append?
What you have discovered in your own way is the story of Babel. The simple fact of the matter is that language is defined as the common cross-section of symbols that have common interpretations across a populous. Too many symbols, Too many definitions, or too many people make it stupidly difficult to synchronise on anything. And stupidly easy for spelling mistakes like Cloneable to be quickly dispersed.
We can try to say this is the language, and it will work for a number of simple ideas, i believe the English language can claim some 80+ thousand unique words. Most humans might remember 40+ thousand of those and not necessarily the entirety of their meanings. How many meanings can you name for "of"?
I believe over time we will iron out the core differences. But remember human language has been around for at least 10 thousand years. Its still trying to figure out what to call a cheerio (a small Frankfurt sausage). So maybe don't hold your breath.

Sounds like a job for AI to suggest and fix-up names in code. Many of the code-assist tools already comply with a naming convention. And companies like Microsoft already have a naming convention that VisualStudio uses to make application development easier. Now if they can get these conventions to flow to their PowerPlatform and Azure.

Has got to be the coolest feature added to Windows in a while.
Don't need to mess with a permanent Windows VM these days and there's WSL rather than a using a Linux one. But oh yeah, when you need a quick OMG VM for Windows... it's totally cool.
