Ubiquity twitter command truncates messages containing "as"
If I try and write a "twitter" command message that contains the word "as", it truncates the message at that point in the command preview. It doesn't offer any alternatives to allow me to treat "as" like a normal word. I assume it's a magic Ubiquity keyword, but normally in those cases you get offered choices as to what you mean.

Inappropriate?The twitter command now functions like this:
twitter [tweet] [optional 'this' for selection] as [username] -
Inappropriate?So how do I tell Ubiquity that the word "as" forms part of the message rather than as a username specifyer? Why doesn't "as" work like "this", where you get to choose what you mean by it?
-
Inappropriate?I don't seem to be able to do the same thing as what you're describing with the 'this' keyword - if I include it in a description, it will always replace the word with the selection. I haven't found any way to escape it...
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Image you opened up a blank Ubiquity window and just pressed the letter "t" - you'd be given several different command choices, including twitter, but also tinyurl and translate, right? Well, similarly, if I type "twitter this", I get given two command choices: "twitter http://whateverurliamcurrentlyon.com/" and also the literal "twitter this". I would expect a similar disambiguation when I type "twitter as".
-
Inappropriate?imagine how many previews would pop up if you had a combination of both 'as' and 'this' - I think string parsing they use should only work on the LAST as, as it's required by the command in its current iteration...
I’m confused

Inappropriate?Well surely "as" should only ever be interpretted as a username when there's a single, username-like word following it. When it occurs in the middle of the sentence it's obviously not a username qualifier. I wouldn't mind just being given one extra option, which was to take all "as"es as literals. I don't need every single combination of thises and ases.

Inappropriate?This thread is a duplicate of Twitter command always thinks "as" == (as twitter username).
I’m sad
