It honestly doesn't matter. I can type them a lua/LUA/LuA/lUa or Perl/PERL/PeRl/pErL/pERl and anyone that knows what I'm talking about will know what they are. I can type Lua and you will still find someone that thinks you are talking about (Limited User Account or some other acronym). I've read what they said on the LUA site and still don't care. I type them both ways LUA and Lua as well as PERL and Perl and even RUBY and Ruby. I'd be really worried if someone thought I mean Limited User Account in a programming language discussion.

Psst! Aren't you allegedly ignoring me?

Don't know, could be hiding that you mean yourself since you keep trying to get a rise out of me and failing. All I can do is laugh at your failed attempts. You mean squat to me so your attempts mean even less. Now if Tomasu, bamccaig, Sevalecan, or Elias had your attitude it might have worked, though that is doubtful too. You see, even though I know they are fed up with me, I could never get mad at them as I consider them friends on here despite what they could say (and have said) about me. There are others on here I consider friends too, 23yrold3yrold, DHarmon, and of course ML.

My whining and complaining is annoying, but harmless (as I'm sure Matthew knows). Yet you are sitting there trying to start a flame war (which is against Matthew's policy) after I had told you that bamccaig made an ignore script and ML has an ignore feature on the forums, which you obviously have opted out of as you have posted remarks trying to (pardon the pun) egg me on in two or three threads now. My complaining may be annoying, but it is completely harmless to anyone on the forums (I'm only hurting myself with it).

Don't worry Specter:

Careful, I'm sure your IQ is dropping with every post you make toward me. It will start effecting your music for the worse.

Hah!

...and there was me thinking it was a...compliment...err, earth to idiot?

/me grabs popcorn only to find it's bland and tasteless... <sigh>

Looks like this one feature suddenly turns Lua into an actual programming language in one gentle swoop... nice.

You should seriously consider purchasing an industrial-strength sarcasm detector.

Yes you can, and people will know what you're talking about, but you'll look like an idiot. Getting the spelling of a programming language wrong in such obvious ways means you don't care much about details, which means you're probably not going to be a good programmer until you change this, which in turn means you are not worthy of a true hacker's time, which in turn means you will receive less help from any community (even a.cc). Also, each spelling mistake causes a slight disruption to the reader, more noticable the faster you scan a piece of text. More disruptions means more annoyance, and again, a lower chance of you getting help from said reader.

The language is called Lua, and it is named after the Portuguese word for "moon", which you can read on the project's website (http://www.lua.org/about.html). Specifically:

In the case of Perl, it matters even more: the terms "Perl" and "perl" are used to distinguish the programming language, Perl, from its compiler / interpreter, perl.

Aaaaaaaanyway, let's get this thread back off the rails please.

So... no Ruby?

Thta's a different scenario from getting it wrong due to lack of care to detail. If you're deliberately doing it wrong for emphasis, than you're a twat.

No I just don't care as I consider them the same no matter the where the capitalization is. Not caring for detail is a person who, does all left aligned source code and when asked just gives the answer of "Because". Speaking of care for detail the start of the line should be "That's". If I didn't care for detail I would never bother posting more than one word responses to every topic. I could stop caring for detail and just start replying to every thread with "Damn!" off and on every few posts and nothing else.

I was just messing with you on that one. Everyone is entitled to their view on things and entitled to type how they want. I prefer using caps on names and don't care. As I also don't care who likes it. Though I have also typed them in the proper spelling too. Just depends on what my hands do at the time (just like your hands spelled That's earlier as Thta's). I seldom proof read my posts, but I seldom worry too much about grammar as long as I get my point across.

I know, but it was the only thing I knew about you to remark on. I remember I told you I liked several of yours (the Robocop one was one that I think I first heard before listening to your others). Still don't think I've listened to them all yet.
