It's a known problem.| forth-standard.org
It is obvious that the idea behind the stack diagram of `throw` is to specify what happens on the data stack in both cases, including the case where the control flow does not continue sequentially. And I think it's a good idea to specify the stack effect for that case, and it should also be done for `?do`. | Forth Standard
In the latest draft, there is really no difference between core `FIND` and search-order `FIND`, because the difference has been factored out into Sections 3.4.2 and 16.3.3, as well as into 2.1 and 16.2. | Forth Standard
MSB is not -1. It's the same as MIN-INT.| Forth Standard
MSB is the value where only the most significant bit is set: | Forth Standard
Yes, I think that abort should empty the control-flow stack and the floating-point stack, and the document should be amended to specify that. The former is easy to specify, the latter has the complication that the core system has no floating-point stack. I still would specify it with the core abort rather than having an additional FP version of abort; such redefinitions have produced confusion among readers of the standard document in the past.| forth-standard.org
I prefer NieDzejkob's solution. Using a core-ext word, 0<>, in a core word seems to defeat the point of core-ext's optional nature.| Forth Standard

The rationale says: "/STRING is used to remove or add characters relative to the current position in the character string. Positive values of n will exclude characters from the string while negative values of n will include characters to the left of the string."| forth-standard.org

Interestingly, Forth-83 specifies +n and specifies the "+n is zero" case.| forth-standard.org
x86 use the least significant n bits, except the original 8086 and 8088 when the shift count is in the CL register, in which case all 8 bits would be used (this was how the 80186 was distinguished from the 8086). The use of just n bits is common enough among modern archs, but 32-bit ARM (e.g. in ARM Cortex M0+ or M4 microcontrollers) is an exception, since it uses the low eight bits of the operand (but still ignores the higher bits). Enforcing a result of zero when the count is higher than th...| forth-standard.org

The traditional implementation (e.g., fig-Forth) has PAD at some distance from HERE: In traditional systems WORD copies the data to HERE, then there is the pictured numeric output buffer, and then there is PAD. The pictured numeric output buffer grows downwards from PAD-1. So the distance between HERE and PAD in those systems accomodates the size of the pictured numeric output buffer and maybe the strings scanned by WORD (if the system wants to support using <#...#> while parsing with WORD).| forth-standard.org

This web-page shows the contents of the sections 6.1.2214 and F.6.1.2214 in [Forth-2012 (pdf)](http://www.forth200x.org/documents/forth-2012.pdf) (see also [Intro](https://forth-standard.org/standard/intro)). If this content is changed, it will no longer reflect Forth-2012. I think that only a web-page with erratum (or a special comment in each web-page) can be added to Forth-2012 and here. | Forth Standard
