ADA sighting

ADA sighting

[David Starner]

There's been a lot of discussion about Ada vs. ADA, so 
I'd like to note that here at OSU, we have a course labeled
ADA Programming. The description starts "ADA-R control structures,
data structures ..."

Ohio State? ;-)

I found a (rather long) link to it at:

You'd think it might confuse people that all the textbooks say
"Ada". And what on earth is an "ADA-R control structure"?


I went to college out of state for a reason...

Perhaps the "-R" refers to a registered trademark (which, of course,
"Ada" hasn't been for several years).

I'm new to Ada so prehaps this is ignorance speaking but, if the
language is named after Ada Lovelace, how can there be any confusion
on this issue?

...and "ADA" never was.
