Fixed some grammar and typos
Jun 8, 2015 at 17:52 comment added Todd Trimble @MikeShulman I've now done so (and redirected your link from the coprojection article).
Jun 8, 2015 at 17:17 comment added Mike Shulman This is a nice example, thank you. I like $\mathbf{Set}\times \mathbf{Set}^{\mathrm{op}}$ even better as a simpler example.

Jun 8, 2015 at 17:06 comment added Mike Shulman @ToddTrimble Thanks! Why not put that at ncatlab.org/nlab/show/distributive+category ?
Jun 7, 2015 at 15:24 comment added Todd Trimble Very good; +1. By the way, I wasn't explicitly aware of the fact that distributivity of products over coproducts implies monicity of coproduct inclusions. It's not very hard to prove though, if one remembers how to prove that distributivity implies that initial objects are strict (using a retraction argument). I have written up a proof here in case people want to see it: ncatlab.org/toddtrimble/published/…
