Talking of typing names correctly. Few people bother to type the acute accent 
in André.

This academic year, for the first time ever, I gave the following challenges to 
my web programming class of 143 students. I gave these challenges in the first 
lecture.

①  learn how to write my name correctly on your desktop computers and mobile 
phones
② whenever you email me, ensure you write my name correctly

I am pleased to report that the majority of this class now do type my name 
correctly when emailing me 😀

My apologies for the typo. There's no excuse for misspelling someone's name 
(especially since I live in Switzerland, and type German every day).

Thanks for calling my attention to it: the doc has been updated.
