Two of the "How come" sentences also used "not seem to be working" instead of "not working". I submit that anyone specifically looking for those two questions would classify their problem as "not working". No contractions were used in the making of this patch. >How-To-Repeat: Read FAQ. >Fix: --- howcome.diff begins here --- Index: en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.365 diff -c -r1.365 book.sgml *** en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml 2002/01/22 11:14:58 1.365 --- en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml 2002/01/22 13:39:29 *************** *** 3290,3296 **** !
