I've been mixing my shellac with denatured alcohol for years. A guy at the hardware store in Spokane just asked if I knew it was cutting my working time in half.

Actually backwards" makes it sound like a big deal. It's just a forum post.

Right, it's the tone that gets me. Saying "actually backwards" frames a simple mistake like a major logic flaw. It turns a casual correction into this pointed, almost formal call-out. For a quick forum reply, that wording feels overly serious. A simple "you've got that backwards" gets the same idea across without the extra weight. The phrasing choice can accidentally make a small thing seem like a bigger deal than it is.
