Creating Software with Modern Diagramming Techniques: incorrect word choice (p. xiii)

@ashleypeacock First of all, thanks for all your effort on this book; I’m looking forward to putting the knowledge you’ve shared to good use!

As far as this post is concerned, I noticed an incorrect word choice in the last sentence of the first paragraph of your introduction on page xiii. It reads:

“…I’m yet to meet someone who hasn’t seen the value…”

If you expand the contraction “I’m,” the sentence reads:

“…I am yet to meet someone who hasn’t seen the value…”

Given that, I believe the correct contraction would be “I’ve” because when expanded, the sentence would read:

“…I have yet to meet someone who hasn’t seen the value…”

First Post!
