Beginning a bulletin with a reserved command word like "follow" or "D"?

I'm a new user, but I've spent the better portion of the last hour reading your documentation. What I'm coming to understand is that SMS commands do not require a special character to precede them. This, in turn, implies that I cannot post a bulletin that begins with a reserved command word. For example, "Follow the white rabbit" (without quotes) would attempt to follow someone with the username "the". And "D Fence ... D Fence!" would attempt to send the private message "Fence ... D Fence!" to someone named "Fence". Is there any way around this, or are we all just forced to remember what the reserved words are? I've heard that bots tend to reserve even MORE words than the standard command set. Eventually, if enough words become reserved, all users will encounter this kind of problem at one time or another.
