Describe the bug
The short description:
I have found that XIV is causing _ to be treated as an input instead of a throwaway value.
At least this has happened when using the command SendChatMessage, with _ being used to ignore the language input
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Load the game wiht XIV databar working
- type
/script SendChatMessage("Test","SAY",_,_) - View message "You Cannot Speak That Language"
Expected behavior
What should happen is _ should be treated as a throwaway character and ignored, sending the message anyhow.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.
I am sure this is XIV as I have disabled all addons except XIV and then turned it off and it is definitely XIV that is causing this behavior.
I have no clue what could be causing it though.
However, the solution for addon/Scripters is to use nil instead of _
Heya, interesting feedback, I identified the bug and that is caused by variables reassignments like
self.cook.name, self.cook.defIcon, self.cook.lvl, self.cook.maxLvl, _, _, self.cook.id, _ = GetProfessionInfo(self.cook.idx)
It is happening in multiple modules, I identified all of the faulty reassignments and this should be fixed in the next release !
Thank you for letting me know about that strange interaction !
