Don't worry about it guys. He made a mistake, I made a joke. It's the internet. My day will go on.

Thanks. Yours looks good as well. My goal was to cover as much and possible and still leave it legible.

Yeah, I know you tried to laugh it off, but he can't be man enough to admit his error. A definite personality flaw on his part IMO.

Shouldn't be rectangular with 90 deg corners. They should be rounded like the outer corners.
