.writemen in windbg of Syntax error

Question

From the blog, I try run the .writemen command,

0:000> lm
start             end                 module name
00000000`00ad0000 00000000`00ad2c00   bbwfjlpm   (deferred) 
0:000> .writemen c:\stringtest\aa.dll 00000000`00ad0000 (00000000`00ad2c00 -0x1)
                                                                               ^ Syntax error in '.writemen c:\stringtest\aa.dll 00000000`00ad0000 (00000000`00ad2c00 -0x1)'
0:000> .writemen c:\stringtest\aa.dll 00000000`00ad0000 00000000`00ad2c00
                                                                        ^ Syntax error in '.writemen c:\stringtest\aa.dll 00000000`00ad0000 00000000`00ad2c00'
0:000> ? 00000000`00ad2c00 - 00000000`00ad0000
Evaluate expression: 11264 = 00000000`00002c00
0:000> .writemen c:\stringtest\aa.dll 00000000`00ad0000 L 2c00
                                                             ^ Syntax error in '.writemen c:\stringtest\aa.dll 00000000`00ad0000 L 2c00'

why I got 'Syntax error'?

Just a shot in the dark, here. Make sure the base is currently 16 with `n 16`. — Sean Cline, Dec 05 '13 at 13:11

I can't believe my old eyes caught the fact that you have mistyped the command. You typed ".writeme*n*" (with the last char being an 'n'). The correct command is ".writeme*m*" (with the last char being an 'm'). Your first attempt (with the spelling fixed) works for me:

.writemem c:\stringtest\aa.dll 00000000`00ad0000 (00000000`00ad2c00 -0x1)
