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…”

Thank you for the kind words, and for purchasing, I’m glad you are finding it useful!

I’ll get this grammar sorted for the next release, thank you for spotting it, I never would have realised!
