For reasons that should be obvious, “create” is _not_ a property of the 
object referred to by “Object.prototype”.  So it is “Object.create()” 
instead.

The more recent introduction of a lot of helper methods that are properties 
of built-in functions that can be called as functions or constructors (which 
can replace several custom workarounds devised earlier), which would be 
called “static methods” in other OOP languages (and may also be in 
ECMAScript implementations at some point, now that there can be proper 
classes) is one reason why it becomes increasingly important to not speak 
of, for example, “Object.prototype.toString()” as “Object.toString()”, which 
(probably for technical reasons) even MDN has not fully managed to fix yet 
(but I have said and done for years now).
