Is there any English written that = describes the=20 finer details of Ruby. I find myself running into questions that = happen=20 due to missing some fundamental holes in my understandings.

Things like a Meta Classes methods are = the methods=20 it inherited from the Class class and it's parent class, it's instance = methods=20 are are the methods added in it's declaration.

$_ is not a global = variable

Adding a method to Kernel sees = different global=20 variables than Kernel.instance_eval

All unscopped code runs in the scope of = a global=20 instance of Object.

class << self can be used to = create instance=20 methods for a meta class.

I know that some of this is incorrect, = or=20 misguided, or untrue so any pointers = greatly=20 appriciated.

I will compile a list of anything I = find and put=20 it on a web page somewhere.
