That's why I leave away the prompt before the commands. A newcomer to 
the command line can't know that it is not part of the command.

Hmm, that may be the default for Unix machines and it may have been the 
same for early Linux machines. However a Kubuntu 14.04 terminal has this 
prompt:

kubuntu at kubuntu:~$

and for Xubuntu it is similar:

xubuntu at xubuntu:~$

Therefore I suppose it would be "ubuntu at ubuntu:~$" for a Ubuntu system 
and not simply "$".
