The author also didn't get the history of C right. 1. it wasn't Dennis and Brian who wrote UNIX but Ken and Dennis. 2. B wasn't an internal language of AT&T but a language designed by Ken. 3. 16-bit words weren't immense at the time...yes, the PDP-11 had addressable bytes (unlike any other PDP) but I don't understand what this had to do with 16-bit words being "immense". 4. It was only Dennis not Dennis and Brian who developed B into C.
