From L’Eroica email. The extra O must be the vintage spelling.

Then there's the new spelling in your thread title!

The large-font version of the name is goofy but not the spelling in the text of the ad. As my sister the graphic designer told me decades ago, "I can spell and I can do layouts, but not both at once."

I see what you did there....

Over here in Europe, many advertise bikes with Campagnola equipment....

Whether they cannot read, or those bikes really have either parts from this (Fiat Campagnola)




or these (equipment for olive cultivation dal 1958):




it is not known to date. But it's often a good sign for a great deal if the seller has no clue what he has.
I hope the site didn't cite 1:1 what the knitting manufacture sent back for logo

Musta screwed up the spelling when they used an Italian to English translator.

As the saying goes, let no poor speller judge another. 😋😁 That's a pretty new saying, but some day, it'll be an old saying. 🙄🙃

I said to myself…” don’t post. You will mess up the spelling.” And like most in most this, I went ahead anyway.

Don't sweat it, we're a tough crowd. I guess we need something extra, with our coffee. Like picking on each other. 😉

So very, very true.

Especially when you're dealing with laggy Adobe bloatwa-software.

I assumed you left a vowel out of the thread title to leave room for the extra vowel in the ad title

Actually in white collar environments especially within emails - thanks to the recent forced mass-education in most places to identify and report spam or any insecure mails - a mistake like this or a purposed misspell can lead to distrust toward the content/sender. I'm sure many of my colleagues still don't get what are the hazards lurking around big corps, but none of them would ever click in any links anymore before asking opinions of others if they see wrong spelling

I recently managed to - kind of - screw a global internal campaign at our firm, because someone thought its a good idea to test the new global campaign sending app before its 100% set up, so the mail was free of any corp colors, fonts, everything. She (higher manager in US) explained the situation in the mail intro. After the 3rd reminder on people should answer I dropped her a chat message, asking if the stuff is legit and suggested, that she can't expect people to answer if global IT security creates mandatory e-learnings and runs random mail raids on the colleagues if they spot the error, sometimes even with really "close to perfect" mails. She didn't even say hello, just confirmed yes, it is real and people should answer. That was all.. but all the further mails which came were repeated immediately by global human resources with a "this is a real request, please act".

Yesterdays tactics might lead to failure today.

Reminds me of the Pogliaghi a flipper chucked on some paint and new decals that read ‘Poglaghi’.

I'd make sure they post a photo of the actual production version of the jersey before you purchase it.
