Hi Erick,

LOL.  

This summer I was in New Brunswick, the only officially bilingual province of Canada and I overheard some people who commented on how the signs are in half French and half American.  It never occurred to them that the language is 'English'.  

Actually, half the sales of this book so far have been European + UK.  When writing books I try to be very clear because many people are  reading in something other than their first language, but also many have superior grammar.  Sometimes the Venn diagram of those people is not what you might first expect.

just ordered my second edition book

should be here in 2 days

Erick,

just got my 2nd edition.

I noticed that page 221 misses a sentence, like in 1st ed.; it reads "...Set its onload to" instead of

"Set its onload to Script1Load and its URL to https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js".

Thanks for your work.

Drats, a mistake.  Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks for appreciating it.

Just received my 2nd Edition - a week early.

= Steve

Mine arrived in "Edison, NJ, US" on 15'th Sept - where it apparently barricaded itself in it's room and is still refusing to come out. So, 8 days since ordering and they haven't yet stuck it in the rowboat bound for Australia < groan >.
