It's possible it's not an error...

It rained yesterday and washed their sign off, and they've spelled bagel correctly this time. Although they're a little less accurate on "baguetts". Are dictionaries endangered nowadays I wonder?Comment

For the longest time, a bar in my area had a sign out front advertising "tocos."Sometimes life is altered.

We have a local resturant here that purposefully mispells EVERYTHING. This includes menus. =P"Kill the fat guy first?! That's racist!" - my friend Ironside at a Belegarth practice after being "killed" first.

I have to wonder if on occassion (not everytime) if it is possible:
A. - that person doesn't like always having to write the sign and is trying to get out of it
B. it is a ploy to get people in the door to at least comment on the signComment

I think option C is the case for the OP story.
I was at a trivia night where one question (read aloud, not shown on the screen, although they had a picture) was "how do you spell pterodactyl?"
The supplied answer in the marking round was "terradactyl".
I know people can't spell. I know terra is a common misspelling of ptero. But come on. If you're going to ask people at a trivia game how to spell something - use an ACTUAL DICTIONARY before the event.
They claimed they'd googled it. Yeah, if you google 'terradactyl' you do get a lot of hits. Because people misspell the damned thing online.Comment

They should have wiki'ed it. And Google gives "pterodactyl" winning over "terradactyl" by odds of about 50 against 1.
On one board where I used to be a moderator (technically, I still am), one guy from Québec insisted that Québécois was spelt Québéçois. He told me that's how one of his teachers taught him to write the word. I was struck speechless. The character 'ç' is pronounced like 'ss'. How can any one make THAT mistake ?"I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
