10. No confusion

I think that people who are familiar with and use both know there are 2 of them.

Before EITHER of those was Ben Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanack" here in Philly (the printing building is still there attached to his Post Office that is still there that I used to go to for mailing stuff and buying commemorative stamps since I worked right near there ) -

which would have been 293 years old if it were still published (last issue was 1758 after 26 years).

(the 2 later Farmer's Almanacs copied his format and even gave him a nod)
