surflightseamstress Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Did anyone else notice today that the Advent Calendar item, a new tea, is called Extra Trength Terry Berry Tea? I feel like it should probably be called Extra STRENGTH Terry Berry Tea. I'm completely unsure as to whether TNT made a mistake and just totally spelled it wrong, or whether they were trying t indicate that when you're sick you drink tea, and might have some kind of lisp or nasal passage blockage that made it impossible to say the s. The jury is out. What do you think? Also, are there any other Neopets items with blatant misspellings? I'm curious now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I'm fairly sure it's a typo, but one worth keeping. xD It's always a bit funny when you get the chance to use sic on a coverage page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 As it is a medicine then I would think that it's deliberate - especially because of the 'Terry' following it...it would appear to be deliberate alliteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surflightseamstress Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah. I just wasn't sure. I'm also unsure if it's funnier that they made a mistake, or funnier that they were being deliberate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane for Wax Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 At least it's better than seeing an item all in caps. o_O; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
