    Is it Teletraan I or Teletraan 1? Hyphen or no?

    Is there an official spelling: Till all are one or 'Til all are one?

    Here's one that's all over the place: Ba(h) w(h)eep granna/grannah/gragnah weep(for some reason only the first one gets an h sometimes) nini bon(g)?

    Holy crap. The latest rumor thread just showed me how many people can’t spell Sky Lynx...

    Skylynx (which is the spelling of the Prime Predacon)
    Sky Linx
    Sky-Lynx
    Skylinx

    ugh. Is it really so difficult? :lol

    Predacon gets misspelled as Predicon all the time.

    I'm pretty indifferent to it. I've spelled it a few different ways in the same post cause I don't remember.

    So it's Sky Lynks? Good to know.

    Irony, someone misspelling a name in a thread about misspelling names in direct response to how the name is actually suppose to be spelled.

    I'm going to assume this was done as a joke or was just a typo.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure my spelling is the correct one. Sky Leenx.

    Count me among those who misspelled Scorponok because in my early days in the fandom I thought his name was "Scorpunk".

    This. I have to shamefully admit for years I thought it was "Spinster" until someone corrected me that it was "Spinister". Devestator and Demilishor have also given me some issues because I keep wanting to put a 'er' at the end.

    It's Devastator and Demolishor.

    I think I've also seen Devastator spelled Devistator.
