| Mar 30, 2011 at 20:51 | comment | added | mfg | @psm I considered that because I was unsure if legally speaking would technically require a hyphen | |
| Mar 30, 2011 at 19:40 | comment | added | psmears | +1 for adding the "speaking" for clarification. I'd actually rephrase the parenthesis as: (speaking legally, rather than physically) | |
