Spelling error #29

Ali, a friend lent me your book. I liked very much. The main problem I saw with it is that the word "premise" is spelled incorrectly throughout. It is spelled "premiss," but a premise is not when you miss something in advance! ;-)

Thank you!

I can't tell you how many emails I've gotten about that over the years. Both spellings are correct, but if I had to do it again, I would spell it "premise" . . . for a quiet life. :)
