Sorry, Toni

I normally don't do this, because I think it is really poor form and quite arrogant to correct people's English, or their spelling, or grammar. But this error was so egregious, I couldn't let it go.

You said "FAWGET ABOUT IT!"

That is grossly incorrect. In the future, please make it "FUGGITABOUDIT."

I hope I haven't offended you.

Re: Actually, it's 'fagettaboutit'

Sorry, GG, I don't mean to brag or try to appear superior, but I've got a Master's Degree in English, and you should listen when I talk to you: Shakespeare never wrote, "fagettaboutit." The first syllable of that sounds like you're running the musical scale: "Do re me FAH...." It is patently, obviously, indutiably, indisputably, unquestionably, nodoubtaboudit "Fuggitaboudit."

When we start exploring the higher realms of the language, as in this case. as far as anybody else being better qualified, fuggitaboudit.

Here's the definitive answer...

Last sign down in the first column. Yes, these signs actual do exist as you enter and leave Brooklyn...
