I think it is missing the @ that ties the whole process together with the each.
Without that @ the boxed result of each is formatted with ": and that does not
make sense to ". creating a 'spelling error'
".@": "."0@": each 40 5 9008 90
|spelling error
|
| ^
| ".@":"."0@":each 40 5 9008 90
".@":@ "."0@": each 40 5 9008 90
┌───┬─┬───────┬───┐
│4 0│5│9 0 0 8│9 0│
└───┴─┴───────┴───┘
