Incorrect use of `factoid` #11

Closed bluesmoon closed 9 years ago

On the correlation page: http://jackschaedler.github.io/circles-sines-signals/dotproduct2.html the usage of factoid should be corrected.

The term factoid typically represents something that appears to be true, but is not actually true. The term tidbit might be a better use here.

PS. Really enjoying this lesson.

Brilliant, this totally made my day. I was just reading an article on usage this morning!

I had no idea that factoid had this meaning. Will update tomorrow!

Thanks again, should be fixed now.
