Proper, yes, but it would annoy a lot of people. Say I was typing that to attack Lukus. He would have ample time to get away in the time I'm typing that, most likely, and I'm a pretty decent typist.

Right, the thing we're describing is mainly for newer people who may have never played a MUD before. There will definitely be an "advanced" mode you can toggle on in addition to what is described above, probably even more than one, to configure gameplay for efficiency instead of intuition. So people who are used to things like "get 2.sword bag" would still be able to use that. It will also undoubtedly come with aliases, and command stringing.
