One of my favorite things to see is when someone spells something like it is pronounced in their region. My absolute favorite one is "cullamulcher."
I see that one in adds for used cultimulchers, being sold by dealerships. It amazes me when Brillion dealers spell it that way. I have always pronounced it cultimulcher, but knew exactly what they were selling because of the way my dad always said it. He also pronounced cultivator as "cullavator."

It usually doesn't bother me that bad, but when it is in a big black bold headline, that is when I feel like someone should have stopped the presses and fixed it before it got to me.
