[SOC] To be a Briton

[Chris Redding]

Aha!. The power of the missing word.

I once read a great article about notable missing words through history.  It
was in an American magazine, so perhaps someone can track it down.

My favourite was Neil Armstrong, who travelled a quarter of a million miles
to miss the 'a' out of:
"It's one small step for [a] man...one giant leap for mankind".  Therefore
making the sentence almost meaningless :-).

Any more?.
