It is now April, and the egregious Encarta Misquotes quiz is still up. Just as I expected, to be frank.
Both of my devoted readers know of my righteous indignation, as well the the contrition which followed. (Just in case you missed it, click here. For the condensed version, click here.) The vitriol and the call to truce were both put half-jokingly, but there's a serious side to all this. It really galls me that such a gross error was not only put out by a major reference source, but that the same source refuses to acknowledge it, let alone correct it. This is outright hypocrisy, pure and simple.
That means only one thing: Encarta is too big for its britches. So the angry young post stays. 'Nuff said.
