Volkswagen with an ‘E’ not an ‘O’
VolkswagEn not VolkswagOn
Interesting to read in Yahoo!’s Buzz log about the top 20 misspelled words used by people when performing a search.
Here they are (correct spelling in brackets):
1. Wallmart (Wal-Mart)
2. Rachel Ray (Rachael Ray)
3. Amtrack (Amtrak)
4. Hillary Duff (Hilary Duff)
5. Katherine McPhee (Katharine McPhee)
6. Britany Spears (Britney Spears)
7. Geneology (Genealogy)
8. Jaime Pressley (Jaime Pressly)
9. Volkswagon (Volkswagen)
10. Wikepedia (Wikipedia)
11. William Sonoma (Williams-Sonoma)
12. Tatoo (Tattoo)
13. Travelosity (Travelocity)
14. Elliot Yamin (Elliott Yamin)
15. Kiera Knightley (Keira Knightley)
16. Kelly Pickler (Kellie Pickler)
17. Brittney Spears (Britney Spears)
18. Avril Lavinge (Avril Lavigne)
19. Rianna (Rihanna)
20. Jordan Sparks (Jordin Sparks)
Although the article doesn’t clarify whether the results are based on Yahoo.com or .co.uk search engine, a number of the search terms above appear to be more US-centric than otherwise (*which might possibly go some way to exonerate UK spelling!) ….but all the same it is ?surprising? to see that the incorrect spelling of Volkswagen comes in at No.9.
