review[edit]

The line in section: Reception, "Reviews of the book were generally favorable.^{[3][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]}", looks a bit awkward for a couple of reasons: the first is that most of the references for the favourable reviews are to the book itself. I don't have access to the print version, and while it is conceivable the book includes pre-print reviews, their inclusion within the primary source needs to be clarified and preferably linked to original publication (if it was). If peer reviews state as much, then they should be the ones left in the inline citation.

Secondly, there is published criticism of the whole scheme's objectives, aside from their later attempts to omit hyphenation, and I think someone [else] should include that in the same section. — cygnis insignis 21:37, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
