keep writing "LUA" in capitals as if it is an acronym...

Many people seem to do this. I'm guessing that the original mistake is to
think that "Lua" must be an acronym as it's too short to be a real word.

1) People should read the full manual before writing (end of Introduction)...

2) Probably same fate for Unix.

3) Personally, I opted for the modern typographic convention of writing pronounceable acronyms like a real word: Unesco, Ascii, but HTML, SVG, etc. Dropped G.N.U. style...

4) Perhaps we should then make a Lua (recursive?) acronym, so this would be true too. I am not too good at this kind of stuff. Let's shot: "Lua is unusually attractive"...

Regards.
