In the Elisp manual in section 9.2 Defining Symbols, the first sentence in the third paragraph says:

In principle, you can assign a variable value to any symbol with setq, whether not it has first been defined as a variable.

I believe that the word 'or' is missing between the words 'whether' and 'not', and that the sentence should read:

In principle, you can assign a variable value to any symbol with setq, whether or not it has first been defined as a variable.
