Don't forget that it's got "4 words" by Alan Davis too! There's also "The Pedant's Revolt - Why everything you thought was right, is wrong!" in the same style; and its sequel "The Pedant's Return - Why Everything you thought it wrong, is right!" - Which is kind of the opposite, and points out things were the "Conventional wisdom" is right, and the "Right Answer" is wrong. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
