As this contentious statement has caused us some degree of bewilderment and

I think it's a clever idea - but wonder if the medium is
going to do it justice? If you look at your other "lacey"

"oops" samples may not look much different from the correct
version.

Rather than attacking either the reporter or the editor about the inaccuracy
of the statement they printed why not use this as an opportunity to educate
the press and their readership about lace and lacemakers. Clearly,
reporters, whether men or women, cannot research every filler line used in
news
