Is it? It is helping you. Your first tip: here's what the argument syntax looks like, use it.

  It's "helping" in an incredibly pedantic and unhelpful way. The developer has opted to add explicit support for the common option, but only as a means to tell the user that they are "holding it wrong" (in the immortal words of Apple)

    When I was a kid, I was playing Beyond Zork, and one night when I was very tired I came across a pterodactyl. Unfortunately, I kept making typos. >> aim wand at perodactyl > I see no perodactyl here. >> aim wand at pterodacyl > I see no pterodacyl here. Frustrated at my continuing mistakes, I decided to try to short-circuit their logic. Despite knowing the difference, I typed this: > aim wand at bird And the game replied: > a pterodactyl is not a bird

      I LOLed at that, thank you. Infocom games were amazing.

      Haha. “The developers thought of everything” (not really though)
