Millions Swore To Have These “Memories” That NEVER Existed

14. JCPenney or JCPenny?

The popular American department store was founded in 1902 – and it was always doing business as JCPenney under J.C. Penney Company, Inc. founded by James Cash Penney. Yes, there’s that glaring extra “e” right there constantly reminding you of the spelling mistake you’ve been making for years. But it can make sense to call it that way, marketing itself as a store offering products that are worth its customers’ every penny.

15. Sketchers or Skechers?

Does the name of the footwear and apparel giant have a “T” in it? If you ask some people, they’ll tell you they used to own one that was called “Sketchers.” Problem is, nowhere in the official company reports will you find information about the change, when in fact such an announcement should be big deal for a major American brand that rakes in annual revenues by the billions. Make no (spelling) mistake, that’s Skechers for you.
