Um, couldn't Kira's birthday be in April and then Brie and Kylie's in May???
Yes, Peanut. You're 100 percent correct. I realized this teaser had an error shortly after submitting, and it was accepted anyway. I then submitted a correction before anyone had posted any comments and my correction was denied despite a thorough explanation!
I often submit corrections that are obviously correct only to have them turned down. I don't know who handles corrections, but I have to say, I don't believe an accurate job is done. I feel a few good people with good writing, spelling skills should be in charge. It is my belief that those in charge are too busy with other aspects of this site including community duties and approving teasers.
Sorry, everyone. Didn't mean to submit a teaser with an error. Sure didn't mean for it to stay incorrect either.
