There are few jobs more exciting than analyzing the referral logs of the very popular OfficialAres.com site. At least I think so.
My mission for today was to find the most common misspellings of the popular ‘Ares‘ keyword.
Top of the list was Aires. This was closely followed by Aries. Both of these are ’standard’ words in English but interestingly (see?) it was users from Latin America that used these misspellings most often.
Next we take a trip over to Greece where the most common misspelling there – and in south Eastern Europe as a whole – is ‘Areas’. This is a common misspelling throughout the world, in fact, and it seems that A and S being close together on the keyboard does confuse some people.
Arez is obviously the French version of the same word and this crops up a lot with users from France and Canada.
Other misspellings – perhaps less frequent but generally being used across the world — are Aeres, Aris and Aers. The last is my favorite: where does that come from?
I’m no spelling or grammar teacher, and I wouldn’t win any spelling bees, but Aers doesn’t sound much like Ares to me. Wake up please people!
