SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Livermore, a California city that prides itself as a center of advanced science, is spending thousands of dollars to correct many misspelled names on a city library mosaic, including that of Albert Einstein, a city official said on Thursday.

The $40,000 mosaic outside the San Francisco area city's main library misspells the names of Einstein, the father of modern physics, William Shakespeare and other historical heavyweights. The city voted this week to spend $6,000 to fix the artwork.

"There were some members of the community who felt very strongly it had to be corrected," said city council member Lorraine Dietrich.

Livermore is home to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory which does work on the U.S. nuclear weapons program.

Maria Alquilar, the Miami artist who made the mosaic, said the errors would have been discovered sooner had city officials inspected the mosaic closely before its installation as she had requested.

She's from Miami, Florida therefore she can live her entire life without ever having the need to speak or write in English.

If she moves to Hialeah, Florida she'll be safe from those San Francisco types. The mayor Mr. Raul Martinez will never grant them a visa to enter his domain.

Slowly, ever so slowly we will take back our ancient conquered territories from you anglo types. You'll see.
