(Errors) Just me? **NOT A REVIEW OF THE CONTENT BUT THE QUALITY OF THE PRESENTATION** The book is fantastic so far. I'm a few chapters in, but this e-book is rife with spelling errors and weird mistakes. Mostly seems like "keming" maybe? Things like "Fl" turning into "H" and odd line spacings. I've only ever had issues like this with bootleg Epubs, certainly not something I paid for. Disgraceful. *Edit* It gets worse the more I read. There are entire paragraphs that are out of order. Requesting a refund.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.
