## While in R v. 2.3.1 (the mid-July patch for Windows)
## on a Windows XP machine, this call to order() works fine...
order(1:10,decreasing = TRUE)
## [1] 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
## ...however, the argument name 'decreasing'
## must be typed in toto (note the missing 'g'
## in the following):
> order(1:10,decreasin = TRUE)
## Error in order(na.last, decreasing, ...) :
## argument lengths differ
## Isn't is standard practice to have R base functions
## accept truncated argument names as long as they are
## unambiguous?
Thanks,
John Thaden, Ph.D.
