Very funny and interesting thanks for posting this.



Thanks! We have so many more to investigate... I'm thinking "cirque du soleil" is my next one. I see at least 48 different spellings on it at first glance...


There was a post office in New Mexico that had collected over 100 misspellings of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pojoaque,_New_Mexico


I’d be interested in the state most misspelled (maybe California or Pennsylvania) and the one least (probably Ohio or Iowa).


Not about spelling but we had someone investigate what state is guessed when a different state is the answer... here's the gif showing that data: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/connorwaldoch_python-matplotl...


Massachusetts and Connecticut have got to be up there.


I would've thought Arkansas would've been at the top of that list.


I'd be shocked if Mississippi is not the most misspelled US state name.


Why California?
