s/charaacter/character/, of course (why do these details only become
apparently *after* posting?)

Well, if you say so (my copy of K&R is not easily accessed right
now).  Certainly that style makes sense in examples in which
the goal is to process a character at a time (to classify/count
characters, for example, or to copy one file to another).

But is this style used in examples in which the objective is to
collect one whitespace-delimited "string" and print it?  Huh.
Maybe I need to reread K&R ....
