How about the common manufacturer name gaffes?

William's. Who is this guy William who has so many games?

Which leads to Sterns, or even Stern's. I've even seen Stearn's. Or Bally's, etc.

As for messed up abbreviations, WH20 bugs me to no end. WH twenty?

Note I did use a zero there, that's what bugs me. Capital O's are rounder.

Rhymes with alley, dally, galley, Halley, pally, rally, Sally, tally, & valley!

(Note most pronounce the comet dude's name incorrectly.)

... and demagorgon, and demagorgan...

It's "Bally table king" if, as I presume, you're talking about Pinball Wizard. (Going on 51 years!)

Funny, we were just discussing Bally...

I see lots of pinball tables.

What, synonyms too tricky for you?

I may just start only referring to them as "decks" just to get on the nerves of inflexible thinkers.

Disagree about what, whether they all mean the same thing? I say they do, how can you say they don't?

It's like how a groundhog is a woodchuck is a whistle pig. If you never heard it called a whistle pig, it might sound weird to you, but that doesn't mean it isn't known as that.

And the result of that "debate" was that there are lots of valid terms for pinball decks, sorry "poppapin"

The stupid poll was not the debate. The beauty of English is that we have lots of choices, allowing for variety and shades of meaning.

Is "poppa" in your name supposed to mean "papa" as in father? If so, that's not the "proper" way to spell it... Of course you are free to spell it that way, proves my point.

Me too, no one ever says let's go to Walmart's or Target's.

I wasn't "allowing" you to, and the point is valid whether it meant "papa" or not. You're just being contradictory and twisting meanings, buh-bye.

Evel Knievel is easily the game with the most varied misspellings.

I started to document them once but got bored after finding two dozen variations! When I run across my notes, I might complete the effort.

Not a title, but "demogorgon" may be on track to exceed that count, thanks to Stranger Things.
