Dropping something (past tense dropped)

Dropping is one of five actions by which an actor can get rid of something carried: the others are inserting (into a container), putting (onto a supporter), giving (to someone else) and eating. Dropping means dropping onto the actor's current floor, which is usually the floor of a room - but might be the inside of a box if the actor is also inside that box, and so on.
The can't drop clothes being worn rule silently tries the taking off action on any clothing being dropped: unlisting this rule removes both this behaviour and also the requirement that clothes cannot simply be dropped.
