But then there is the rest of the description. The seller apparently does it for every one of his auctions. Oh, and of course, the shipping is ludicrous.

Q: Is this the prototype set for all the D&D versions that came before it? Sep-27-11A: Hello There Yes, The White Set was the Prototype for Dungeons and Dragons. It was the first product ever released by Tactical Studies Rules in 1974 which later became known as TSR. It came with 3 booklets. TSR later released 4 more booklets to go with the White Set in 1976. Hence this is a complete White Set. I hope this answers your question. Please don't hesitate to contact me again if you have any further questions Ron

They focus on the term itself (here "white box" or "D&D"), while ignoring the words of general English which are applied to it arbitrarily ("prototype"). When someone pointed out the error, the seller replied with dates & data, but nothing about the mis-used word. They don't need the Acaeum, they need a dictionary.
