This is cute, but it's sad to think that they either don't know how to spell "voila" or think that most people who see it won't know how to.

Reminds me of a time when a copywriter in my office wanted to do an ad ending with "Capisce?" He figured that everyone knows what that means when they hear it, but few people would recognize the spelling. He was leaning toward spelling it "kapeesh" instead. I successfully leaned him away from using it altogether.

I'm reminded of lots of things tonight. And lately. I should think of a clever acronym to use. No, no I shouldn't. I should lay back down instead.
