How can I make this Apple Script shorter? (quitting multiple apps via tell) I want to edit a part of an Apple Script to quit various applications at once:

tell application "TweetDeck"
    quit
end tell
tell application "Google Chrome"
    quit
end tell


Over all there are seven entries just like above.

Is there any way to write this more compact?
You can use a list of apps and a loop. Just add new apps to that first list and they'll be quit automatically.

set apps to {"Google Chrome", "Tweetbot", "ForkLift"}
repeat with thisApp in apps
    tell application thisApp to quit
end repeat
