From a review of And Another Thing (AKA Hitchhiker's Guide 6):
"'Frood' isn't a verb! Zark is spelled with a lower-case z! Did this guy even read the first five books?"
PNQ: Are these allegations valid? 'Cause if so, this guy needed to do more research before writing a Hitchhiker's Guide book. I don't expect a 100% fit, even Frank Baum had to tweak the rules of Oz as the sequels were written, but "frood" and "zark" are simple enough to be considered immutable and very easy to use properly.
