      Spoiler:

      In the textbook I use with adult beginners there's a text about Tesla (well, it's all about irregular verbs really, but that doesn't matter any more ) It goes like this:

      Everyone knows that the Italian Marconi invented the radio, right? Wrong! Actually, Guglielmo Marconi stole his great idea from Nikola Tesla, a Croatian scientist. Tesla wrote an article in 1893 and in it he described his important new invention - the radio.
      But just two years later, Marconi took the idea to the US Patent Office and soon began to sell it. In 1909 he even won a Nobel Prize for his invention.
      In 1943 Nikola Tesla died in New York, a poor man. That year, the US Congress decided that Nikola Tesla was 'the true father of the radio'.


      Didn't mention it last year
      ugh don't remind me of the [and I'm quoting Nikola here] "donkey" that Marconi was since I've read "Man out of Time" [Margaret Cheney's biography of Tesla] I really can't stand that thief *mutters*

        Well, at least they write the right things even in language textbooks!

          over there. cuz in my English book is a text about Marconi sending the first radio signal across the Atlantic. In less than a month we'll be studying that lesson. All I'm saying that my English teacher better not make the mistake to praise Marconi or else he's gonna find out what I'm capable of -.-

            Well, my lesson plan doesn't actually leave much time to talk about Tesla... But I'll try my best!

                  Heh. Our most prestigious music awards are called ''The Edison Awards'' and even that bugs me...
                  Being original is difficult when you can't stop quoting your favorite tv show, For crying out loud!
