Each of the shapes is a generally accepted recognition of the function
it represents. I could call you Sam, but few would know who I ws
referring to. It's simply a matter of looking at the Visio documentation
and using the appropriate shape for the function you wish to depict.
OTOH, not many know the difference, or care. It's worse than obsessing
over gerrunds.
