More precisely it's the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, established by the central bank of Sweden in 1968, not Alfred Nobel in 1895. Recipients of this prize are counted among Nobel laureates, though it's not without controversy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: From Mathematica to Jypyter
It is fun to find fault in the work of a new Nobel laureate. In this case, a typo. However, I'm disappointed that no-one has picked up the other error. Someone posted to this thread "the #me-too movement". It should be "#MeToo". Yes, I know it's CamelCase. I think that's actually Pythonic. It's the name for a class of messages. -- Jonathan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You mean at the level of words, or sentences? A sentence already has enough redundancy that it's frequently possible to reconstruct the original intent despite errors (as in this case), but it's impossible to be 100% certain in all cases without either severely limiting the forms of communication, or simply increasing redundancy, which will result in abbreviation.
