I love your blog and follow it regularly and believe it fulfills an extremely important function of proliferating and popularizing our culture, heritage and traditions! To keep the high standards and excellent reputation that you’ve had among the public so far, would you please consider correcting the spelling of the word “capitol” to “capital” in the title and text of this post. Thank you very much.
