It's a typo! It's a typo!

Two complaints concerning yesterday's post were recorded. But it wasn't the governments of Iceland or Ireland that were upset. No. Long before the sun had risen, Bert Kearney found that "propelled" had three (!) "l"s, and a few hours later Louise Elverfeld noted that "imagined" had been scrambled. Both misspellings have been corrected. Thanks for the alerts, Bert and Louise. Rainy Day's keyboarding is more passionate than precise, alas, and the Movable Type blogging system doesn't come with a spell check function, which is a lame excuse, I'll concede.

Anyway, all this embarrassment serves as a reminder of the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" scene starring Seinfeld writer and co-creator Larry David as himself. A classic, this:

Thank God, for this interweb thingy, I say. Us poor spellers can always amend our errors, while print publishers and headstone carvers must live in constant dread of the typo.
