I get emailed Elerts from Random House of Canada, and the one that came yesterday featured a misspelling of Cesar Millan's name. See how I put double-L in his last name? Yeah, that's how to correctly spell his name. Getting it wrong twice means it's deliberate and not just a typo. Click the image to enlarge it.
