No, that's a misperception: this ist not a rule, but a preprocessor
instruction, which gets expanded to two rules:
:c
:u
These two rules are further optimized to:
c
u
The ":" as no-op instruction can be discarded ("do nothing to the
word and then capitalize it" is essentially the same as simply
"capitalize the word").
So having "jOHN" in your wordlist, you might consider having four
rules in your config: unmodified/as-is (:), (l)owercased, (u)
ppercased and (c)apitalized:
:
l
u
c
Or, as config-line-saving preprocessor instruction:
:[:luc]
(I hope I got this right.)
Try the following in Terminal, inside john's working directory:
grep "accepted as" *.log
It should help you to better understand the preprocessor's logics.
