Project 1: Error When Introducing HDL

INybbleAtMyPi
In the online PDF, it says that all computer designers today use HDL. This is correct. However, afterwards, it says that this is sometimes referred to as VHDL, with the V meaning virtual. This is not correct. VHDL is a type of hardware description language, not a synonymous abbreviation. The V in VHDL stands for VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit), and that is the name of the government initiative that created it in the first place. It also fails to mention that there are different types of HDLs, although that is not necessarily an error. This error is not crucial to the curriculum, but it should still be dealt with soon.
