Default How can people not know how to spell the car they drive?

Anyone else get annoyed at people who own a CAMARO but spell it Camero? Not to mention the people who type about them that know nothing of them and also spell it wrong.

Here is a prime example...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-97...QQcmdZViewItem

(he might just be mindless though, numerous spelling mistakes)

CAMARO is on more then several spots on the car you drive every day. Come on now.

Little quick story, I was at a flea market once. There was a guy outside as I was leaving trying to sell his "Camero", although where he was sitting his head was right near the proper spelling of the car.

Camaro Performer magazine once spelled their own name wrong in the magazine. And, on an artist's rendering of a project car with their name in graphics on the drawing. Both times, it was Camero.

I have some family in west Texas that can't even pronounce Camaro, they say, "Camarah". It's quite funny actually.

Mostly, there is no such car that some moron doesn't own.

I can think of a fat kid I went to high school with who drove a "cibic".
