I have easily read more than a dozen articles over the years on this parsing strategy, including Pratt's original paper, and in every case I have read "donation." But you are 100% right! All of my sources actually use denotation. MY MIND IS FREAKING BLOWN.

I am going to go meditate on the subjectivity of my reality. If I am wrong about this, what else am I wrong about?

LOL. I don't think it's that serious. Maybe it's the Berenstain Bears Effect, Mandela Effect, Glitch in the Matrix, or ... a slight lack of your favorite morning pick me up. :D In any case, looking forward to reading the next article.

Personally, at some point, I'd like to write a Pratt Parser in C99. I'd like to explore the one sentiment you had that OOP has a negative effect on understanding Pratt Parsers.
