I know there's a seller's silliness thread, but this is one of the more amusing misspellings I've encountered.  They missed a letter, added a word and changed an intimidating title to sound more like a party.

Worth a chuckle at least!

LOL!

Reminds me of a customer at my store that always comes in and asks "Do you have Secret of Mania in?"

He means of course, "Secret of Mana". No matter how many times I say it with the correct word, he'll say "Oh okay. Well if you get Secret of Mania in, let me know"

???

He's asking if you have it "in" stock and asking you to let him know when you do get it "in" stock.

Nothing wrong there at all.

He's saying Mania, not Mana.

Ah! I wouldn't have missed that in conversation.   That is pretty weird!

I always wondered what the secret of Hulkamania was. How has it gone on for so long and so strong? Hulk Hogan truly is immortal.

I remember asking for Ico at a GameStop around 2009 and the clerk corrected my pronunciation, "Eee Koh," by saying "Eye Koh."

What made him think his pronunciation was any more authoritative than mine? I dunno, but I know mine is right because Shadow of the Colossus was code-named "Nico." "Ni" is Japanese for "two" and it was the next game in the Ico universe. "Ni" is pronounced like "knee," so they were clearly mashing it together based on the pronunciation of the I in Ico being the same.

People really do stick to their way of doing things.
