Confusing simple pattern matching and regular expressions is not a trivial
thing.

The "LUA" correction was probably just salt in the wound. It wouldn't sting
but for the pattern matching bit. 

I'd wager $10 that "PERL" and "LUA" is part of some sinister 4chan troll
campaign. I'd probably lose that $10, but it is just that annoying.
