While I agree with your column about the cross burning in Arroyo Grande (“Is your refrigerator running?” March 24), I have to point out an error:
Mayor Tony Ferrara would probably be irritated were he to be hit with a gaff, it is his gaffe you write about (and it is your gaffe for using the wrong word). Granted, some reference sites do list “gaff” as a variant of gaffe, but not anywhere near a primary definition; then again, other sources define “gaff” as a garment used by men to reduce the bulge of their testes and penis.
