Well, why is it, do you suppose, that hiring a tutor costs so much more
than buying a book?
Certainly, some people learn better aurally than visually. There are
quite a few recorded P6 presentations around, but I don't know if
there's a collected list anywhere, or one that links to recent talks
(anything not too out-of-date).

The word "common" comes from Latin, and "typical" from Greek, but in
this context they are synonyms. There's nothing political about it. But
it does show how easy it is for something that is clear to one person to
be misunderstood by another. Repeating something the same way doesn't
make it clearer (that's one of the reasons we have teachers instead of
only books, because they can reword things and take different approaches).
There isn't any easy answer to coming up with documentation that works
for everyone. (You can't please all of the people all of the time.)
Perl(5)doc is just a book, after all; but "be more like Perl 5" won't
work, because Perl 6 is *different* from Perl 5. Putting beginner and
advanced docs together might end up with a mish-mash that makes nobody
happy. It seems likely to me that you're looking for example-based
documentation that is organised very differently from docs.perl6. What
about Moritz's *Perl 6 Fundamentals*, "A Primer with Examples, Projects,
and Case Studies"?

Is this something that better fits the way you think?
