So I have the book he referenced. Everything from the part you pointed out to the bottom is a quote directly from the book
I quoted it a couple weeks ago actually.

Q: Why would you use な for そう forms of い adjectives?

ヤラユギI am just now really diving into adjectives and how they work in Japanese. It was to my surprise that I heard 『楽{たの}しいそうなお祭{まつ}りね』 being used. Does the そう usage require な even for い adjectives?

実は大昔の知恵袋のサービスイン直後には、回答者ランキングか何かで歴代全国3位だったこともあるんですが、あまりにサイトのクオリティが落ちたので二度と戻りたくない…‌​(遠い目)

A bit off-topic, but does anyone here know why GoLang's "hello world" in they're web site has a piece written in japanese? golang.org
I heard about this language for the first time in Japan as well, by a japanese programmer, but may it's all a big coincidence

@ajsmart Well, it's not exactly.

If you put it in quotes, you should probably edit it to reflect the book.

It doesn't say "is a na-adjective" and there is a big gap of ellipted material there, which you need to mark with "[. . .]".

I guess I can make the changes.

Rather than edit the examples to reflect what the book says, I'll just edit the answer to say they're paraphrased and keep hisao's versions, since they probably changed them on purpose.

It might sound like a small thing, but you have to be really careful when you quote something, because if you change what it says even in small ways, you're no longer quoting.

About the thing I was talking about, it's not related to Japan whatsoever, they used kanji just as a mean to show that the language can handle unicode with easy
