Re: Recommendation for a text

I've been noticing the English is reprehensible in K&R II. The first edition
wasn't great but the errors in the 2nd edition are indeed egregious and now
I find it difficult to read because of the glaring errors. Has anyone else
noticed this or did somebody butcher the copy I ripped off from the 'net
(serves me right for not paying?) I do have a paid copy of the first
edition, well worn btw. Was just too lazy to go looking for the 2nd so
ripped one off from the comfort of my easy chair.

> but it is rarely the right choice for a "normal" application.

This should be at the front of every C textbook but it's far, far too late
for that...
