Ms. Yates wrote, "...But all that fear could be for not."

Unlike that time when the public wrote in about the SUPPOSED error with the term "sea change" (they thought it should be "see change," but they were incorrect), this one is a real "oopsie." It should read "naught," not "not."

But thanks for catching the error. I think it must have been bad luck that no one caught that — or is it "cot" that?

I just sent out an e-mail to a bunch of friends that said that, "...[controversial art] doesn't phase me the least..."

It was only after having hit the "send" button that I realized that the word is "faze." [Cyn smacks her forehead in frustration]
