Just where has Fitzpatrick revised anything in EM theories?

I think the OP meant 'revision' as in material used to revise for an
exam or test. He didn't mean that the theory was changed.

It is a UK vs US English thing I find with a little research. No one
this side of the pond uses the third definition.

It would also help if the original OP didn't write like he was being
payed by the word.

revise

1. to amend or alter

2. to alter something already written or printed, in order to make
corrections, improve, or update

3. British. to review (previously studied materials) in preparation
for an examination.

I'm surprised that the #3 "revise" - literally meaning "to re-see", ie
"to look at again" - is peculiar to British English. Is this one for
alt.english.usage and /or alt.usage.english?

Alt.what?

Thanks to streaming I've been watching a lot of British TV lately.

Quite often I find I haven't a clue what people are talking about, mostly
when it is just casual conversation between the characters.
