Isn't it funny when dealers (not just private adverts) spell the vehicles wrong. I mean this is a classic example, in the Trade sales advert every week the Vauxhall Meriva is spelt "Mervia" & has done for two years now, surely they would've picked it up by now?
Does anyone know any other places that spell their vehicles wrong on the ad's?

In my local papers, every time someone attempts to advertize a SEAT, it comes out listed as a FIAT. Its been going on for years.

In our local on-line auction site, a couple of the auctions have caught my eye recently.
One was for a streeing rack. Another for a Serries 3. It wasn't a momentary slip, either, as the mistakes have been repeated in further auctions.
Perhaps it's to attract the attention of pedants. No, dear, that's pedants with a 'd'.
