I just had to inform my son of this. I found a little thing he had written for school where he'd said something to the effect of "we like to play in snow," only he spelled 'we' as wii... Sheesh. Roll eyes We don't even have a Wii. Black eye

The intentional misspelling of words for marketing purposes has bugged me to no end for years.

Heh, and on a related note...he asked what HTFU stands for and we told him Harden The Fuzz Up. He seems to think that's an acceptable explanation. Tongue
