To avoid having a claim be construed as a Means-Plus-Function claim, is there any special language that is preferred. That is, for example, when using functional language for method claims in a receiving step, are there preferred terms, such as, "a step for receiving", "a step of receiving", "receiving", etc.? What case law, if any, supports this preference?

receiving.......
All method steps should preferably be in "ing" form - so it could be "providing", "forming", "receiving", "attaching"......
