Maya Error: name 'axmesh' is not defined

Online searches didn't help me, so I felt I needed to post this somewhere even though it makes me look like an idiot.

If you stumble upon this error, check to see if you accidentally clicked on the Mel icon in the comand line at the bottom of the Maya window. If it says "Python" instead of "Mel," your commands will not work. click on the "Python" icon to change it back to Mel, then grab a beer and celebrate.
