I don't know, but it is just annoying when I see people spell distro names oddly. Its fine when it is just a typo, but when they continually do it... Even when they spell it different but it is pronounced the same it's fine, but when they change it oddly and add extra syllables and all...

I just saw Ubunto, Unbuntu, and Mondriva. I'm pretty sure I saw odd spellings of debian also.

Any other odd spellings for me to be annoyed at? :P

LOL as long as they don't typo/mispell any distro "Microsoft" "Windows" or "Vista" I'm happy :p

I've seen lenuix before. And Ubnutou. And debien. And Fidora. And Sabuyon. That's it for now, but seriously, some people are NOT smarter than a fifth grader :)
