It is not my native language. Recently I was reading the main documentation of FreeBSD project - the Handbook and met the very funny mistake. URL ÔÏ this chapter is http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/routing.html & name of this chapter is "Gateway & routes". "The next thing that stands out are the 0:e0:... addresses. These are ethernet hardware addresses. FreeBSD will automatically identify any hosts (test0 in the example) on the local ethernet and add a route for that host, directly to it over the ethernet interface, ed0. There is also a timeout (Expire column) associated with this type of route, which is used if we fail to hear from the host in a specific amount of time. In this case the route will be automatically deleted. These hosts are identified using a mechanism known as RIP (Routing Information Protocol), which figures out routes to local hosts based upon a shortest path determination." Looks like the author don't know the difference between RIP & ARP. :-) FreeBSD is my favorite OS and I want to see errorless documentation.
