Yeah, I had a clever rejoinder having something to do with Jewish immigration rates in 1816...and then I read the rest of the article and realized that it was probably one of the less egregious errors in TFA.
It's an interesting article, no doubt, but be prepared to reread a few sentences. It's almost as annoying as the large amount of dns-prefetch going on to make sure those trackers have their names resolved upfront. :-)

On the topic of tickets, I've kept a plane ticket from the year 2000, and it's a bit amazing that a decade or so after needing to go a travel agency and getting a booklet (plane tickets back then had a page for each leg, usually a back cover and maybe a front cover), I can just use my phone to go to the airline's website (or a price comparison site), buy a ticket, do online check-in, and just load up the barcode to board the plane...

When I was an exchange student in Germany many years ago, my host mother gave me something very similar to this as a homespun cure for the common cold.
And if this is the standard of the book there's big problems
Edit: I’m finding so many grammatical errors in this piece (“Coaches now were now better sprung”) that spelling errors are hardly surprising.

trying to imagine how that tastes
