PROPOSAL TEXT:
[Oops, the original passed.]
Amend Rule 754 by replacing:

capitalization, or dialect, or the use of a synonym or
abbreviation in place of a word or phrase, is
inconsequential in all forms of communication, as long as
the difference does not create an ambiguity in meaning.

(1) A difference in spelling, grammar, capitalization, or
dialect, or the use of a synonym or abbreviation in place of
a word or phrase is inconsequential in all forms of
communication, as long as the difference does not create an
ambiguity in meaning, except for the purpose of reporting on

with:
An inconsequential
variation in the quotation of an existing rule does not
constitute ambiguity for the purposes of this rule, but any
other variation does.
