It's in the same vein than"it's" being used for "its" Maybe this is a good place to explain MY constant, deliberate "misspelling" of the word with a capital T: While it would be grammatically more correct that when referring to carvings and mugs, they would be spelled "tikis" and "tiki mugs", I decided early on that Tiki looks better than tiki, and that with each printing of the name I would invoke the name of HIM, the demi-god Tiki - since all "tikis" ARE likenesses of that deity, and that's how they came to be named so. So far I have gotten away with it. (edited for Spell Check :lol: ) [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2011-05-25 12:03 ]

While the mug is available in green and yellow, the mis-print is only on the blue version. (Check yours - if you have a blue one, it's probably mis-printed!)

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Thu, May 26, 2011 8:59 PM Since the request was for "...mugs and OTHER misprints" (and we might be running out of mugs soon), here is a classic: There is the island nation of TONGA, and the Polynesian God of the Sea, TANGAROA, but there ain't no Tongaroa. But this misspelling has been perpetuated to such a degree that one might have to accept it as a typical faux pas of Polynesian Pop :)
