(that's the one I think I see most often...)
And even there, the second and fourth clause are redundant. I teach it as
turns right- committed to 1B
turns left
- heads directly to 2B- committed to 2B.
- heads any direction except to 2B- committed to 1B.
I also clarify the difference between overrunning and rounding.
