Today's pedantic minute is sponsored by the Lua community.

Yes, Lua, not LUA, you dimwit journalists (the allcaps version is used in every article about Flame I've read).

Lua is not an acronym, it means "moon" in Portuguese, it is the successor of Sol (sun), a little known data description language.



Todays's pedantic minute is sponsored by the non-existant SOL comunity.

SOL is an acronym fro Simple Object Language, so you should type it in allcaps and avoid confusing it with the noun :)


You learn something new every day.

SOL, then, but I'll leave my first post intact in order not to ruin your joke.

The Lua community is also barely existent, BTW.
