Not Washed or Cooked, # 48

This is odd:

Source: Chrystopher L. Nehaniv, ‘The Second Person: Meaning and Metaphors.’ Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 1562 (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence): Computation for Metaphors, Analogy, and Agents, ed. by Chrystopher L. Nehaniv (1999), 380–88 (p. 380). Link: Google Books, ‘swam in a flock of swams’

The swams, of course, shouldn’t even have made it through a spell-checker…

Just to make it absolutely clear that this is definitely an error and not some kind of arcane computer science terminology, here’s a detail of the volume’s cover:


which clearly depicts a flock of swams swans.
