I'm so old I Remember when:

I mentioned this somewhere else and it may have been earlier in this thread BUT have you ever seen a billboard with incorrect spelling? Now how many sets of eyeballs does a billboard go by before getting to the roadside?

Incorrect spelling is done on purpose sometimes. Probably all the time. People remember the sign with incorrect spelling. I remember taking a college class in Technical writing. After being taught proper grammar for year after year and then the prof tells you that in this class we will learn how to break the rules of grammar to achieve an effect.

I was just about to post this same comment. That nonsense drives me up a wall.
ETA -apparently it's called "disemvoweling". Well, har-de-har-har.

Say it ain't so!

Incorrect spelling and grammar make me crazy. As far back as I can recall, they have jumped off the page at me like scary jump-spiders. So imagine my misery when I can't type a simple post like this one without making multiple typographical errors, due to arthritis and tremors in my hands! And often, I don't see them until AFTER I have hit the Post button!

Nowadays incorrect spelling will get something posted on Reddit. Then someone in the comments will point out how OP gave said company free advertising.
