# List Changes Since 1955

> Returns each change to the English text since the first printing, in the order of the Foundation's list of adopted corrections: the words before and after, the year of the committee report, the 1955 page, and the reason. Filter with `paper`, `ref`, or `kind`. `applied` is false for a change that the Foundation lists but its download does not have yet.
