The Apple ][+ (which I bought in 1981) had left and right arrow keys, but no up/down arrow keys.

It’s been so long since I used a ][+, I forgot that there was a right arrow key. I thought there was only a backspace ley, but there was, along with a “rept” key which I’d completely forgotten (not to mention that horribly-placed reset key).

That is probably in the top 3 most common English typos, made millions or billions of times a day by native English speakers, up to and including people with PhDs. The issue the author is complaining about is completely different.

I'm confused, are you implying a simple mistake made by natives all the time means the author should be outright discredited or something?

Sheer volume of work. I think the 10,000 hours theory has some validity.

Presumably 'The Fucking Article'

April fool?
