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''" &nbsp; is correct. &nbsp; However, &nbsp; ''put'' &nbsp; 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. &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 06:14, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
