example - Pronounciation

In keeping with the style of other pronounciations (e.g., for s>d), the pronounciation for s>f should be "s-to-f".

In keeping with the style for -trailing, the pronounciation of -trailing-garbage should be "dash-trailing-garbage".

A better pronounciation would be "plus-x-slash-string".

proposal - BL rationale is wrong

Due to a bug in the web-site engine, now it renders two spaces as one in an inline code fragment:

: _BL ( -- c ) S" " DROP C@ ;

\ It shows a string having length 0
S" "
\ instead of a string having length 1
S"  " 

(it works in code blocks, but doesn't work in inline code fragments)

comment - Pronounciation

There are two styles if pronounciation for <:

"less": 0< <# d0< du<

"less-than": < d< f0< f< u<

This should be unified. Either all "less" or all "less-than"

We have the same problem with >:

"greater": #> 0>

"greater-than": > u>

proposal - Exclude zero from the data types that are identifiers

Should the notation {0} be also described? It's a singleton.

Erratum: "is a members of" should be read as "is a member of".

In the data-type relationships, a question sign is shown due to a bug in the website engine.
