Sorry, too hardcore to use your client side aliases. I play every game on the highest difficulty setting.

Ret defaulted to retreat because all shortened commands are checked in alphabetical order. Now that there's another command with starts with "ret" and is earlier than retreat, it's the one hit by default. It's already true that you cannot retire "accidentally" because if you type ret the game informs you that you have to type out the full word. Changing the entire shortening code just to account for the retreat command is unnecessary when a client-side alias fixes the problem.
