Article Mistake corrections

[bdt]

I think rpm may have gotten alliteratively addicted in his mamba article with "Mice are among the agile adder's favourite prey in the wild in eastern and southern Africa." A quick wiki seems to indicate that mambas aren't in the adder family ..I think.

Okay Jeremy, when it's as easy as going online to get word definitions, how did you cock your Pac-Man article up like that? This is not a fault (even a junior) journalist should make! I mean, really:

Hey bdt,

Synonymous was intentionally used, as in Pac-Man is synonymous with Namco, as he was a mascot of the company. You think 'Namco', gamers see 'Pac-Man'. Thanks for the feedback anyway.

 

[bdt]

Sure, okay; why not. But, to me at least, the way that sentence is put together, only 'eponymous' fits. But then I've never actually studied any advanced word-smithing, so what do I know?

Hi guys. Thanks for pointing out errors. It helps us a lot.

May we ask that you refrain from conversing in this thread.

Thanks!

The actual Woz(niak) article itself is fine but the forum thread title/OP has Steve Woznial, y'all may want to fix that.

Thanks fixed it.

Again, the actual article is fine but *cough* someone borked the forum post with "Microsoft release new Surface ad" - that should be "Microsoft releases..."

 

[jes]

Fixed; thanks.

Not a good place for a typo. Thanks, fixed.

Not a bad idea. Here's hoping no-one comes out with a device where the front and rear is ambiguous in future.
