S.W. Erdnase is no longer E.S. Andrews
As of today, Wikipedia mentions the following about S. W. Erdnase (of course known for 'The Expert At The Card Table'):
Quote:
(Indeed, the ambigram is quite unreadible. No idea why they made the E/S combination like that. After Frank (MeandmagiC) and I tried by ourselves for only 15 seconds, we made a much clearer and simpler E/S. But... it says "W. E. Sanders" nonetheless.) Is it another marketing campaign or is it for real? Fact is that there is no hard evidence and the way it was discovered is basically relying on pure guessing and being lucky to find someone with a name that contains the letters in question. My personal theory is that S. W. Erdnase is a pseudonym without any relation to the actual guy who wrote it, because people would've been able to see his own name being mixed up. |
