ABSTRACT

I will start this chapter off with a pet peeve of my own that I want to dispel for you all. When I am reading any text and I see the ® (registered trademark) symbol, it makes me suspicious about the motives of the author. This would insinuate something that is proprietary and that the author is marketing. I do not like paying good money for a book that turns out to be a sales pitch and does not provide me value.
