Saw something I found funny.

Moichandising! See what cool Neopets Stuff is currently on sale!


It can be found on the main page to neopets.

I think that was intentional. It's a NYC accent or something...

Yeah, that is definitely reminscent of a Long Island accent :)

no no no, it's Brooklyn.

I've lived on Long Island and in Brooklyn and Long Islanders don't sound like that. Unless they moved from Brooklyn (Or some parts of Queens)

My university is 75% Long Island/Brooklyn/Queens/everything else down there. I probably get them confused, haha...it does seem more like Brooklyn now. My aunt from LI does say it that way, though.

......

People keep bringing up that "moichandising" as an example of a misspelling. Come ON! I can't be the only Neopets player who's seen the movie Spaceballs!! :P

Seriously, I'm 95% sure that's what it's a reference to.

I've seen it but unfortunately don't remember ANY of it..

Moichandising is a great word btw but Firefox days it's not a real word :P

Yeah, I'm gonna go with deliberate. Merchandising and Moichandising are too different for it to be a typo - plus, say it out loud ;)

When I first read it I thought of the French moi (French for "me") so I say "mwahchandising" :roflol:
