New submission from Dionysis Zindros:
In the Unicode HOTWO documentation for Python 2.x [0], there's an error in the
fourth code sample under the section "The Unicode Type".
The code states:
```
>>> s = u'Was ever feather so lightly blown to and fro as this multitude?'
>>> s.count('e')
5
>>> s.find('feather')
9
>>> s.find('bird')
-1
>>> s.replace('feather', 'sand')
u'Was ever sand so lightly blown to and fro as this multitude?'
>>> s.upper()
u'WAS EVER FEATHER SO LIGHTLY BLOWN TO AND FRO AS THIS MULTITUDE?'
```
Notice that in the last line, "sand" was turned back into "feather". The
correct last line should have been:
```
u'WAS EVER SAND SO LIGHTLY BLOWN TO AND FRO AS THIS MULTITUDE?'
```
