Nobody's perfect. And if no one tells you when you're making a mistake, you'll never learn. And I presumed that the misspelling of schooner wasn't an accidental typo.
Plus, I thought the beer glass thing was an entertaining little tidbit of knowledge. Who knows? You could be sitting there in the hotseat at some game show, and the question could pop up. The difference between being a millionaire and being a starving artist could be the knowledge that another word for a beer glass is schooner.
