Travel Centers of America is the largest full-service travel center company (truck stop chain) in the United States. The United States, that is, of America...

ATTENTION TRUCK DRIVERS: A-M-E-R-I-C-A. AMERICA. Ya know, that place you drive through for endless hours during the day, persisting throughout the night with coffee in the cupholder and Johnny Cash in the tape deck? The country in which you reside, where red, white and blue soar proudly on the front porches of millions of houses across the nation? The land of the free and the home of the brave? Ya know, America!?! 

Drive on.

centex

In 1950, an eighteen year old started Centrex as a small construction company. Today, with the recent acquisition of Centrex by Pulte Homes, Centrex is part of the largest home building company in the United States. The company has received numerous awards, from “Most Admired Big Builder” to achieving a spot on the “America's Most Admired Companies” list. Clearly, these people know how to put things together. But with almost 10,000 spelling errors on the corporate website, perhaps they should go back to Construction 101: the assemblage of letters—not only the right ones, but in the right order, as well.

Here are two of a possible 9,671 errors:

wiht Suggestions: Whit, whit, wi ht, wight
 (appears 1 times)

exiciting Suggestions: exciting, existing, exciton, exiting, executing
 (appears 1 times)

crown

Crown is a world leader in metal packaging. They claim to manufacture one out of every five beverage cans that are used throughout the world, and one out of every three food cans that are used in North America and Europe. They also have a strong dedication to the environment, recycling 100% of the aluminum, steel, copper, resins, solvents and other raw materials used in the manufacturing process.

Another one of the most commonly misspelled words among Forbes 500 websites, “environment” is misspelled below on the same page as the letter from the CEO, damaging both the credibility of the company as well as the man in charge.

Here are two of a possible 2,346 errors:

Enviroment Suggestions: Environment, Enforcement, Increment, Informant, Invariant
 (appears 1 times)

Assitant Suggestions: Assistant, Assailant, Assonant, Distant, Hesitant
 (appears 1 times)

officemax

Office Max is the second largest office supplies retailer in the United States. They sell any and every office utensil you could possibly think of, from pens and pencils to file cabinets to computers and printers. Luckily, they also sell dictionaries galore: pocket dictionaries, electronic dictionaries, international dictionaries, Spanish dictionaries, medical dictionaries, typewriters with dictionaries, law dictionaries, paperback dictionaries...the list goes on.

It's a good thing, too, because oops! An error has occurred! Six times throughout the corporate website, Office Max misspelled “occurred.” Two c's and two r's, as any dictionary will state. Feel free to test your own products!

Lable Suggestions: Label, Lab le, Lab-le, Labile, Liable
 (appears 1 times)
