ONE FROM THE ARCHIVES 2

We are taking a rap on the knuckles for our post on Clydeen McDonald's piece, and this is from Burton Dookhi.

""RE: 'ONE FROM THE ARCHIVES' post...
""...then Clydeen you need a sharp wrap on the knuckles and a really thick dictionary."
"That was the wrong 'wrap'. It was supposed to be 'rap', as in a quick, light blow or a reprimand. At least I hope that is what you meant, and not that poor Clydeen should be wrapped 'sharply' in something.
"Maybe, not only Clydeen, but we all need dictionaries!

"P.S. It makes it easier for people to take your corrections about word use especially if you are not as bad as they are."

Thanks for the admonition Burton. We can admit when we are wrong, which is better than most of the reporters/editors out there.
