My loving wife made me this T-shirt for my birthday. But now she worries she misspelled "Belieber" and insists I poll GMG. What do you think? (Reminder: Biber is spelled "Biber.")

EDIT: I removed the attachment. If anyone is still reading this, the shirt says "I'm a Belieber" and has a picture of H.I.F. Biber.

Problem is, that's how fans of Bieber spell it.  Still, I'd leave it, and find out who knows the difference between good music and bad.

I imagine anyone who actually gets the joke is not going to mind an extra "e" anyway.
"l do not consider my music as atonal, but rather as non-tonal. I feel the unity of all keys. Atonal music by modern composers admits of no key at all, no feeling of any definite center." - Arnold Schoenberg

I thought the joke was about Biber and 'I'm a believer' by Neil Diamond.........I didn't get the Bieber reference.

Most people probably (or should I say "prolly"?) would not get it. Those who DO get it might just think you're (or should I say "your") an idiot--unless they know better.  :laugh:

Thanks for the responses! I thought any of the spellings would work, but she wanted me to ask you all.
