I thought the same thing. It happens too often for it not to be intentional, right?

Yeah, and it gives pretty much the same impression that the misspelled safety placards on ED-209 in Robocop were supposed to give about OCP (although they can't really be read in the movie) - that somebody is half-assing manufacturing or, at least safety. Somebody at MARS or Cobra doesn't 100% know what they're doing...or care.

Or Engrish is a second language.

I was a bit perplexed why Cobra has a HEETseek Missile.
But it is supposed to look like that.. but it is still giving the impression of a mistake if you don't know it is deliberate.

They don't teach foreign languages until the sixth grade. Excellent rule, though.

That?s what happens when salaries don?t keep up with inflation

As someone married to a woman who isn't a native English speaker and also as someone who's edited several manuscripts that were translated into English (not super well), I've noticed that grammatical errors are much more common than spelling errors.

I?m not surprised.
