You should have got this message (unless you manually disable it) "Possible spelling error: new symbol name LOG is similar to existing symbol Log" I always do get this sort of messages whey I misspell commands. I believe it says somewhere that commands must start with capital letters, that should have rang the bell that M is case sensitive.
