But the sign speller “siht” right if, like me, he’s slightly dyslexic. And check out “. . . the original Vnyl” in the “Brunch at El Centro” photo diary. People with spelling problems probably shouldn’t throw stones. (Great photo, though, Don.)

actually, the restaurant is actually called Vynl. but that seems to be a choice… http://www.vynl-nyc.com/

As I left out the verb “is” in my original post (after “siht”), I’m obviously in no position to throw stones either! But I’m not sure that Don’s reply requires two “actually”s. What we both need is a proofreader, professional, full-time and strictly voluntary.

LOL — yes, I regretted the double adverb as soon as I sent it, and I haven’t yet figured out how to edit or delete replies in this format. The internet is either a feast or a nightmare for sticklers such as I and thou.
