Team's Response

Hi, we have specified the command usage in the output of help command as well as the user guide. It is reasonable to assume that user would know how to use due command without misinterpretation. Because for a user get to know due command, they would have already executed help command or read the user guide.

For further explanation, the due command has 2 functionalities. due [ optional <time specifier> ] <date> will show all tasks with deadline in the time period indicated. due over will show all overdue undone tasks. Entering due ovwer as illustrated in the diagram would most certainly result in an error message since ovwer is neither the word over nor a valid date.

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: Yes I understand that it is stated clearly in the help command. However, if the user did not use help beforehand and encountered this Please make sure to follow the date format as such: ddMMYYYY, I would have thought that words are not valid to be used in this command.
