Voigtländer Mis-spellings
And, the most frequent mis-spelling is: Voightlander
|
And so now, in the best possible taste, here are the others (24 so far!):
| Voightlander | Voitlander | Voiglander | Voighander |
| Voightander | Yuighander | Vigtlander | Yuighlander |
| Voigalander | Joigtlander | voiuglander | Yoigflander |
| Yvighander | Voigkander | vuigtlander | Voigtlanda |
Yoigllander |
Voghtlander |
Violtlander |
Foigtlander |
Voighlander |
Voichtländer |
veigllander | ? |
and my favourite:
| Highlander |
(this seller, unable to make sense of the word, simply substituted a word she knew)
But even a German can get it wrong:

As for my list of 24, to prove I'm not making them up, below are the offending listings:
|
(My apologies that all are not represented here as, when I started the collection, I neglected to keep the listing details as provenance. I guess I didn't realise where all this was going!) |
And, just when I thought all the variations had been thought of, this one came along:

Does this deserve a prize for being the most innovative yet?
