and -> or, methods -> methods
I also have a question on the subject of this sentence (should this be a separate discussion entry?):
In the "Extending built-in classes" article, in the "No static inheritance in built-ins" subsection, one finds:
"But built-in classes are an exception. They don’t inherit statics from each other.
For example, both Array and Date inherit from Object, so their instances have methods from Object.prototype. But Array.[[Prototype]] does not reference Object, so there’s no Array.keys() and Date.keys() static methods."
In the "Extending built-in classes" article, in the "No static inheritance in built-ins" subsection, one finds:
"But built-in classes are an exception. They don’t inherit statics from each other.
For example, both Array and Date inherit from <code>Object</code>, so their instances have methods from <code>Object.prototype</code>. But <code>Array.[[Prototype]]</code> does not reference <code>Object</code>, so there’s no <code>Array.keys()</code> and <code>Date.keys()</code> static methods."
This is a subject of some curiosity for me. Through a little testing, I believe I have found that, in fact <code>Array.[[Prototype]]</code> DOES, however, reference <code>Function.prototype</code>, i.e. <code>Array.__proto__ === Function.prototype</code> (<code>true</code>). (As does <code>Date.[[Prototype]]</code>). Is there someplace where this is explained? (Preferably in a way an intelligent 11-year-old could understand?).
Replaced ":"s with ","s.
I edited these lines before, and thought they were a little awkward w/ ":"s, but didn't see fit to change it then. But now ","s seem clearly better. Think of it as successive approximations.
Change spelling of "labelled" to "labeled". "Labelled" is British spelling, "labeled" is American. I hadn't noticed British spelling being used in general so thought it should probably be the American version.
Wording changes to 2012 prototype history. "allowed to" without a "who" is not very grammatical. Could replace with "allowed us to" or "allowed the user to". I went with a different verb, but either of the others would be OK too.
Also a little punctuation change to 2015 history.
