This is a disputed matter. I admit that usage in the English language changes.
Nevertheless, I am old enough that I was trained to use data as a plural noun,
and say "data have" not "data has" (as occurs several
times). A search will easily find the various occurrences.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In the next to last paragraph of suggested topic 4 appears a parenthetical
citation: "(Cf. Stoltenberg-Hansen et al., supra, page 224, Boolos et al.,
supra, page 23.)"
This is not proper, since there has been no prior reference to either of these
works. These sources (which are cited in full in the supplement) should be
cited in the submission to the USPTO.
This citation might be done in the first sentence of that paragraph, which
refers to textbooks. In that case, the later use of supra would be sound.
(Cutting and pasting can easily lead to erroneous use of supra and infra, as
text is reordered.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Due to the fact, that the web page is delivered as

this is rendered as '…'.
To fix, an entity &x2026; or … should be used. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Is that a duplicate or was something left out in the second "on the
expression of ideas" such as "on the expression of ideas that are
..."?
The consequence is a proliferation of patents on the expressions of ideas, on
the expressions of ideas, on "doing so-and-so on a computer," and,
even worse, on the concept of "doing so-and-so on a computer" when the
procedure ...

At the beginning of Topic 4 (para.2, 2nd sentence), sent to the USPTO, I find
the following sentence:
"The ordinary procedure for carrying an addition is a mathematical
algorithm."
As written, this sentence does not make sense to me. (How does one carry an
addition, in this context?) I think it should have said "... for carrying
_out_ an addition ..." instead.
Unfortunately, I did not spot this omission prior to the submission. Sorry.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

You hopefully want to refer to the combination of Latin
words "mille" and "annus" (a thousand years), not to the
combination of "mille" and "anus" (a thousand rear ends).

That's a sequence and not a series. Let's use the
mathematical notions correctly! (Wikipedia has nice
introductory articles on sequences, series, natural numbers
and such.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
