I told them already and they answered:
"forever" can be written "for ever" or "forever" both is correct.

just have a look at a (typical songline) sentence like "I will love you for always and ever"

here the second "for" is left out of the phrase written in two words.

I still claim, both ways to write it are possible.

And additionally, I even more claim that it does not matter a pair of dingo's kidneys whether we write it CamelCase or not.

But I repeat: PureBasic is case insensitive. You can spell it foReVer and it will compile.

Who cares? We are discussing how it is in the help and in the autocompletion and ... .
And if its really UK/US dependent we shouldn't mix colour with forever and color with for ever in PureBasic then.

What the heck... just because you're desinterested in discussing about this you are still not allowed to make such useless comments. Instead of insulting us and posting such crap you could have baken a cake for us. This is not offtopic and its right to discuss about the seriousness of a programming language. So why are you against ontopic?
