I was hoping that "Foto" was a fighting style or something, but no, it's about taking PHOTOS. Misspelling can be interesting and creative (for example: Rytmik), but in this case I feel it's probably teaching at least a small percentage of users that the correct spelling is with an "f" and not a "ph" -- yikes!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613958383336937465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25077391.post-84666036214443093812010-09-10T14:41:23.835-07:002010-09-10T14:41:23.835-07:00I like the naps idea. :)
