From 5bdc4bba6f6ccadbc36bc77914d41b90ef231ff5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cody Boone Ferguson <53008573+xexyl@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2023 04:58:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add author comments to 1984/anonymous Some years after the entry was published the judges asked them if they wished to remain anonymous. They said yes but added that they are well known for their there connection to the C language. I fixed at the same time the typo that was in this quote as it seemed that it's better to be clear than to keep a quote exactly as is especially as it might have not been a copy paste in the first place. --- 1984/anonymous/README.md | 6 +++++- faq.md | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/1984/anonymous/README.md b/1984/anonymous/README.md index 866d14d40..5ddbbdfb7 100644 --- a/1984/anonymous/README.md +++ b/1984/anonymous/README.md @@ -55,7 +55,11 @@ program.
