Lua despises using all caps LUA and you guys are doing it
Added by Jerry Schromm 11 months ago
Hey I was just on Lua.org and Lua doesn't want their name written with all caps LUA. Here is what they wrote:
Like most names, it should be written in lower case with an initial capital, that is,
"Lua". Please do not write it as "LUA", which is both ugly and confusing, because then
it becomes an acronym with different meanings for different people. So, please, write
"Lua" right!
On your Vastscript document on this site you have is LUA. I just thought you would like to honor the language
and respect their wishes. This is what you have on your page:
All standard LUA language constructs are available from within VastPark, with the exception of the os and file libraries for security reasons.
If you are new to LUA, a good place to begin learning is over at the tutorials on the lua-users wiki: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory.
Alternatively, for the full documentation visit http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/
I hope you can change this in honor of Lua. It sounds like a very good scripting language. It is very fast. World of Warcraft also uses it as you know and I just found out. I hope I can familiarize myself with it. At least get to know all the scripts written in Lua here at VastPark.
Thanks, Jerry

Thanks for fixing that lol. I did find it a couple more times on a differnt page but I couldn't find this post. Maybe if I find it again I will put it up here. But I am sure you will fix them in the future when you see them ;)
