Nuisance #1: Typing "South" takes you south. Typing "S" is shorthand for this. Typing "Look" prompts an examination of the current room. Typing "L" is shorthand for this. Typing "Look South" prompts a message telling me to use prepositions. "Look AT south". "Look INSIDE south", "look UNDER south" are all parseable commands.
