: Oner of the most commonly misquoted proverbs is "a little learning is a dangerous thing". You seem to have bren unable to avoid the error. Regards

"A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.", from Alexander Pope's Essay on Criticism - source the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. Good enough for me.
