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. Mortal Kombat, Cingular, Kids Konnections, Krispy Kreme, Toys'R'Us (technically correct but still annoying.)

Yet more cultural effects on spelling... GAH! That is pretty funny though, Zoomy and... Dane is such a cutie, I would have been cracking up! Big grin

Heh, after I read his little project I asked him "hey, Dane...how do you spell WE?" His reply: "W-I-I." Black eye

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

Yeah, that stuff really bugs me, too. There is a restaurant about 45 minutes from us called Kuntry Kubbard. Black eye
