That awkward moment when usually you'd be skeptical, but you thought it might be true bc you've read that particular Synge play and you were actually about to send it to your friend who also read the same play. Thanks for the catch!

I wouldn’t have necessarily caught it right away if it weren’t for the fact I saw someone saying this same thing on Facebook about a month ago.
