Explaination: Though it's not usual for user to type -a in address, it's better to remind this in the format of address.

First of all, it is mentioned in our UG (under CLI Syntax -> Miscellaneous Information) that when there are repeated parameters, the last occurrence of the parameter will be taken.

Secondly, users will not type -a within their address without any purpose, unless it is part of their address, and this brings us to the last point.

In most cases where addresses have -a, they would be within the names of the street or apartment, such as North-apartment. Addresses like these with -a are accepted by A-Bash Book as shown in the example below.

(note: A-Bash Book only recognises prefix when there are spaces in front and behind the prefix, therefore the -a in North-apartment is not recognised)
