== PL/I vs PL/1 ==

Ian,

I don't really care, but changing my user page to correct "PL/1" to "PL/I" seems rather nit-picky to me. Especially when either usage is acceptable.

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/computer-lang/pli-faq/

The Usenet newsgroup is, in fact, called "pl1". Answers.com allows for either.

Finally, the compiler I used at UMD was called @PL1 not @PLI.

Aren't there larger problems to be working on? Like, actually accomplishing some of the undone programming tasks?
