Apology to Patrick Beverley
I recently was corrected on my spelling of Patrick Beverley by one of my followers. In some of my tweets and posts, I had been typing it as “Beverly” and not “Beverley” which is the correct spelling. I looked back at past work and noticed I probably had it wrong a majority of the time so I wanted to make this note in a post.
Sorry Pat Bev, now I will spell it correct every time.
