A business I drive by frequently had "Fitlep" Queen on the reader board
for months. (I knew it had to be Filter Queen, it was a vacuum repair
shop.)   Finally I called the owner- I couldn't stand it anymore.  He
laughed and told me it was intentional for the very reason I was
calling.  It caught most  people's eye  and was more effective than
spelling it correctly.
