Stardoll's Shocking Spelling



I only have one question...
Is Stardoll run by Monkeys? Children? People with amnesia?
I ask this only because it seems that there are alot of obvious spelling mistakes when it comes to naming clothing. Have they not heard of spellchecker, or do the staff and programmers even look twice at what they have written???

Let me show you exhibit 1- "Hathawaye's gawn"
First of all there is the name, Anne Hathawaye, who's that? Don't you mean Anne Hathaway, you know the beautiful actress in "The Devil Wears Prada" and such...? Then there is of course the misspelling of gown, it's spelt as "Gawn". Urgh. Need I say more?

Exhibit 2- "stardoll tigths"
WTF are "tigths" don't you mean tights? BUT the irony is, those are TROUSERS OR PANTS and definately not tights. I mean, c'mon people!

Exhibit 3- "Nigthgown"
A "Nigthgown" sounds like something that you would bury your dead pet hamster in. I think that the Stardoll Staff were meaning to write Nightgown and even then shouldn't it be TWO words? huh?

I feel for the little eight year olds on Stardoll learning to spell tights wrong. These are only the examples of bad spelling that I found in my wardrobe, there are tons more waiting to be descovered. Everytime I visit StarBazaar, I see more and more. Please share your stories of tragic misspellings, some really are quite amusing.
