youneek spellings r not just 4 baybeez

Just a vent: Recently I have paid closer attention to alternative spellings for things other than baby names and they're everywhere! Just saw a commercial for Acuvue Oasys contacts... Why? Is it unlike an actual oasis or is the real spelling just not kewl enough? I used to shrug it off but it seems to be getting more and more widespread. Would it really make you want that product over another?

    It's probably for copyrighting reasons. It's still stupid though.

  • They misspell words for trademark and patent purposes. You can't put a trademark on "Fruit" as everyone uses it. Spell it a little different and now it belongs exclusively to that company.

    but you don't have to misspell it if it's a phrase, right? As in, "fruit loops" would be able to be trademarked altogether? I think it's especially annoying on items for kids because it probably just confuses them more when they're learning to spell.
