Well, as it turns out. . .I was perusing the wikipedia and looked up the SD’s claim to fame and found out:
As Gaudere said, “If this doesn’t have a name, it should.” It did, we just hadn’t heard of “Bell’s First Law of Usenet,” codified: “Flames of spelling and/or grammar will have spelling and/or grammatical errors.”
This was first posted by 15 May, 1990, by Andrew Bell to alt.sex. (cite).
Not to bring down the party or anything. I’ll still consider it as “Gaudere’s Law.”
But 1990…geeze.
