Quailty and reliabilityI worked for the British arm of an old American test company. Let's call them GenRad, for that was indeed their name. They made huge machines the size of a good-sized second bedroom, used to test circuit boards. You would think that quality would be built-in as part of their very being.
It was. Until some twat in marketing put together an ad that featured a 4-colour jigsaw, each piece carrying a single word. They misspelled QUALITY as QUAILTY.
Numbskull.
Now I live in the US and I realize they were the product of the public (state-funded) school system, and I'm staggered they got the other three words correct.
