you may have, or have not heard about this website.
at times it is downright hilarious, and at others, highly spectacular. sometimes, at its bests, it's both.
basically, it is about wrecked cakes.

however, this is not an advertisement.
i came accross a post.
if you have time please read it.
below is a letter i wrote to the keepers of the site, with great respect towards the jog they are doing and with great curiosity as well :)

dear editors/moderators,
this is a private message - you don't have to actually post it. (just contemplate...)
english is not my native language, i think you got it by now :)
i had no trouble of whatsoever of finding 'spooky' where the wreckerator wrote 'spooy' instead.
i have read quite a number of comments, possibly from native speakers of english.
none of them seemed to have found the connection between spooy and spooky.
they all come up with fun explanations and suggestions.
no-one mentions 'spooky'. not ever.
please, i am seriously intrigued by now:
how come this?
why me - and no-one else?
you may leave a reply in a comment over one of my websites (BOTH are in english) for i will ask my readers, too about this strange phenomenon.
thank you for your attention and keep up the good work.

the site doesn't care about my comment.
i have came to the conclusion that no-one else noticed the spooy-spooky connection.
they fail to notice my comment.
i got it.
Actually,SzelsoFa, I think the readers probably did get it and because they thought it so obvious (as was Hounting for "Haunting"), they didn't mention it but played along with the error. It's sort of an English speaking way of acknowledging that it is obvious (by not acknowledging it at all). At least that's my assumption. Do you know what we say in English about assuming? "Assume makes an ass of u and me," so I could definitely be wrong! :-)
hm, allright, Karen.
the same way of making jokes exists among hungarian people as well.
i think i was just not in the mood to get the drift of their sense of humor.
:s
too bad for me :)
thanks for the explanation and for the pun on the word 'assume' :))
