<br>It seems that [list] classes (e.g. [list split]) turn words into symbols and multiple words into a list automatically, just as numbers are turned into floats and multiple numbers into a list everywhere in Pd. The confusion is not that people cannot remember the words float, list, bang, symbol to be reserved, but that they are used to the convenience of how Pd handles floats and list of floats. You would almost forget that "dog" is not a symbol and that "dog cat bear" is not a list, particularly because [list split] doesn't complain and just returns a real list.<br>
