QUOTE(Cunningly Linguistic @ Tue 13th March 2012, 11:21pm) Wikipedia to blame my arse.
The cost of the bloody thing was extortionate and their paywall on the net didn't help either.
They charged themselves to a standstill, a bit like the music and film companies are doing.
Nothing has changed. QUOTE Sales of Encyclopaedia Britannica peaked in 1990, when 120,000 sets were sold in the United States. But now print encyclopedias account for less than 1 percent of Encyclopaedia Britannica’s revenues. About 85 percent of revenues come from selling curriculum products in subjects like math, science and the English language; the remainder comes from subscriptions to the Web site, the company said.

(Other Wikipedia pages had the correct information at the time.) Bad date formatting too. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

(Other Wikipedia pages had the correct information at the time.) Well, the correct date is 1917 and wikipedia was on the right. I wonder if Britannica really gives 1903, or if this person was just trying to troll.
