p.s. Most of the comments in this thread, including the first post, have mechanical errors in them, so don't judge that flyer too harshly...

I wouldn't be to concerned spelling and punction on a forum. I myself, usually type the same way i type on aim and click submit with out even remotely proof reading what i type.

as for the author of the flyer. She is an American female.
