It's Halloween, not Holloween.
I don't know when or where or why people suddenly started doing this, but it's wrong.
I noticed this two days ago on a McDonald's sign when they were advertising their Halloween foodstuffs.
I thought someone just made a mistake since it was one of those lightbox signs with interchangeable letters.
No. I had to look it up yesterday because surely a manager at that location would have made an employee fix it.
It couldn't have been a corporate decision, right?
Unfortunately it sent me down an annoying rabbit hole where this is a purposely done misspelling, and that's just irritating.
Why? There's no purpose to it!
It's as dumb as spelling it Kristmas or Eester or something.
Humanity can be stupid.
