This way the parsing is much more flexible for people who speak English but aren't familiar with the stunted mini-English used by traditional MUD commands.

It needs to not do this for syntaxes with QUOTED_WORDS though:
SAY I went to the store -> SAY "I went store"

The tokenizer should just strip out "the" and the most common prepositions. Example: GET THE DAGGER FROM THE BACKPACK -> GET DAGGER BACKPACK PUT THE DAGGER IN THE BARREL -> PUT DAGGER BARREL KILL THE GOBLIN -> KILL GOBLIN This way the parsing is much more flexible for people who speak English but aren't familiar with the stunted mini-English used by traditional MUD commands.
