I don't.

OK, I also spent a little time surfing the internet and found one[1]
too. Hence this is the reason why your usage is so unnatural to me: as
you mentioned you're writing with respect to the American dialect, but I
was drilling Murphy a lot when I was younger, so "the old line" is stuck
in my head forever. Therefore, it looks I can't stop you from using the
language the way you want, but please *be consistent*. Good luck with
using the "American Usage" for Lua 5.2 case :)

I don't, but formally it's PUC-Rio.
