Please excuse if I should post this elsewhere--I haven't been on the forum for years...
I didn't notice this in the sixth edition errata, but there's a pernicious error that crept into the language chart somewhere around Justice, Inc. (!), namely, there should be a thin green box with square corners surrounding the top two boxes in the second column (i.e., the "Danish/Norwegian/Swedish" bubble with the "German/Yiddish/Afrikaans/etc." bubble. The missing box would represent the Germanic family of languages. I thin the very first version of the language chart (Espionage?) was correct, and they've been missing that box ever since.
I remember talking to David Ladyman (who developed that chart IIRC) and he said he had noticed the same error.
Sorry if this has already been brought up.
