I hate it (and love to be annoyed?) when eBay sellers mis-name the game they are selling!

I can think of three examples that I see all the time:

Simon Says -- it's SIMON! There is no "says" anywhere on the box!

Quiz Whiz -- It's WIZ! No H! Are you people blind?

Electronic Quaterback -- Why do I see this misspelled so often? It sure sounds like there's an R in there before the T! Something about the word just makes people mistype it?

Thanks, I feel better now. Mr. Green

Heh, that probably depends on where you live... I can see some people pronouncing it qu-ah-tah-back... Smile

I love it when they mis-spell words becuase they can't make out the stylized writing used (esp on company names). Like Bandal instead of Bandai, Akklaim instead of Acclaim... I've seen others, just can't think of them right now...

Cool Rik

OMG! Simon does say Says on at least one style of box. Embarassed
Guess the ol' memory ain't what it used to be!

It's still not the name of the game, though!

This one made me laugh Laughing . They spelt it like that in the abreviation as-well so it isn't a typo!
