OK, as a public service I scrolled through this thread and put all the spellings in alphabetical order (feel free to correct - it's been a long time since third grade).
It's not as many as I would have thought. I only counted ones that claimed to be real, not jokes. I did not check the links because I figured a lot of them would be dead. So if you need to program your Craigslist bot, here is the list:
Chhwinn
Scchwinn
Scheinn
Scheruiwn
Schinn
Schinng
Schwain
Schwann
Schweinn
Schwenn
Schwiin
Schwimmer
Schwin
Schwing
Schwynn
Science
Sewing
Sewn
Shewinn
Shwin
Shwinn
Shwynn
Swim
Swing
Swinton
Sycwnn

If it's a Wal-Mart Schwinn, is it Schwit?

Looks to me like autocorrect (e.g. science or swim) is the dominant failure mode, followed by phailed fonics (e.g. shwin) and hitting an adjacent key (e.g. scheinn).

Here's a two-fer - Schwimm and Schwann in the same ad.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/b...585064720.html
Sadly, no pictures, but rest assured it's purple.

There's a "Branching Milano" that's been getting renewed/reposted on the Madison CL for 1-2 years now; properly spelled "Bianchi" in the ad body, but they've never fixed the title.
BTW, here's a new one (from an old listing, actually): https://shopgoodwill.com/item/153133250
But wait... it's not....
But then, they managed to misspell Showell, perhaps under some Schwinn schpel.... er... spell, so... maybe it is....
(Don't worry, there's not gonna be a quiz later)

^^^^^ Ironically, the bad oblique upward angle of the photo of the phone almost exactly cancels out the distortion of the bad oblique downward angle of the original photo of the bike. I'm sure it was all intended that way.....
