Misspelled names?

Why are there so many questions on here with a name misspelled such as:

mobile instead of Mobil (oil)

camery instead of Camry

dextron instead of Dexron.

It would seem to me that if you either are or going to be paying thousands of dollars for a car that you could at least spell the names of it and items that go along with it right.

    Spelling and grammar went by the wayside with the advent of word processor programs.

    As far as I'm concerned, they should make students write a few short paragraphs every year in school to make sure they aren't challenged in this category.

    I've seen people with college degrees that have atrocious spelling and grammar skills. Me, I just gradjiated the twelf grade.

    Bad spelling seems to be norm - not the exception.

    My spelling skills were never good. But it fell even more since I've been using a computer (with spell checkers).

    Go figure.

    Good Luck...

    Because people are generally careless or stupid. Or both.
