        You could also technically fix it using the “missing Missy” method.

      Usually they pay graphic designers to extort others.

        Often by extorting those graphic designers, too. Pay a little and offer “exposure” (or find a way to blatantly rip off other designers). Anything to mitigate that bottom line.

        Addendum: you can die from exposure.

      Where I’m from it’s spelt centring, but I think Randall’s referring to “doanate”.
