C putdown

[Craig Werner]

<><><><
	I've seen the following bandied about a lot:

> 	"The C Programming Language:  A language which combines the
> 	flexibility of assembly language with the power of assembly
> 	language."

	and the one comment I have always had about that is, as written,
it's neither a joke nor a flame, just nonsensical. Shouldn't it be:

	"The C Programming Language: A language which combines the
	power of assembly language (so far a compliment) with the 
	flexibility of [pause] assembly (expecting a high level!) language."

	So this is an appeal to the probably hundreds of people a month who
use that line to reverse the order, and make it logically correct.
