You learn something neg every day. I take it this is one among many instances of a man taking all the credit for something a woman played a much bigger part in creating/discovering?

I have no idea tbh. I forgot the specifics of what I was taught and only remember her + Chomsky because they got the normal forms of CFGs named after them.

Honestly it was shocking to learn that Chomsky did so much other stuff with politics and monkies because he will always be the CFG guy to me haha
