On the vagaries of copy editors
In one of my wife's novels, she had a reference to big vs. little endians. The copy editor changed it to Indians. She changed it back with a marginal note saying "See J. Swift" It was later that I pointed out to her that big/little endian was also CPU deisgn issue, which was amusing because the novel heavily involved virtual reality (or as I've been known to describe it, "cyber, but not punk").
