Q about working with "whisper" (/w _displayname)

Notice the _displayname names spaces give you fits. Anyone know how _displayname are treated if you have a "Bobby L." and a "Bobby M."? Tried sending a "/w" with "_id" to get around it.... and the _d20userid as well.

It is odd that there's no means of quoting the player/character you whisper to (you can do it with the /as command) -- probably an oversight. As an API workaround, if you're dealing with characters you can temporarily change the character's name, send the whisper to the character, then change the name back. (Remember to change it back! ~_^) Player display names are read-only fields in Roll20; you cannot change them using set .

Yea... you just need to have the players pay attention to their display names... distinct one word names makes the issue a non-issue. I will be posting a draft script for speaking in languages shortly.
