:: !!???? And yet that bullet point shown above is ''still'' in the spec, '''right now'''. How is it not moot? Even after I pointed it out and questioned it? Do you know what the definition of moot is? --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 10:18, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
::: I had deleted another phrase and I never got around to deleting the other. I got interrupted with something critical at home and I just got back to the computer very late this morning. The erroneous phrase has been elided. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 10:29, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

:: Yes, but the spec doesn't specify a '''blank''' string for output. The question isn't about '''blank''' strings. I never even mentioned a '''blank''' string. The spec say return a '''null''' string. The term '''null''' can be interpreted in many different ways.... Never mind. I'm not going to repeat my whole explanation and inquiry. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 10:18, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
== Incorrect example output? ==
Why does <code>put</code> return <code>PUT</code> instead of <code>*error*</code>? One of the stipulations is "if there isn't any lowercase letters in the word in the command table, then there isn't an abbreviation permitted." <code>PUT</code> and <code>PUTD</code> are the only commands that begin with <code>put</code> but they are both all-caps, so an abbreviation should not be permitted.
: Your statement saying " ... ''so an abbreviation should not be permitted''" is correct. However, ''put'' is <u>not</u> an abbreviation, it is a match, as specified by the bullet of the specifications (rules):
::* compares equal (regardless of case) to the leading characters of the word in the command table
: ... along with the other specifications. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 06:14, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
