And of course typos. I just typed 'arsthetic' for 'aesthetic' -- and was tempted to leave it...

Geranium Photo Detectors.
Someone even has a Patent on their GERANIUM Photo Detector.
"[0031]Next, please refer to the technique mentioned in the U.S. Pat. No. 6,833,195B1, wherein the Intel Corporation implants the ion into the geranium substrate at first. Then the germanium substrate and the silicon substrate are ostensibly activated and bonded together. Finally, the germanium substrate and the silicon substrate are heated, as mentioned in the method of the Smart-cut process, for cutting the germanium substrate, so as to obtain a silicon substrate with a thin germanium layer. The technique of the U.S. Pat. No. 6,833,195B1 will be applied to the later steps of this preferred embodiment. "

The best camera is one that still works!
Nuclear pronounced 'nyook-yoo-lar' instead of 'nyook-lee-ar' really pisses me off ... the ex US pres 'Dubbya' was chronic for this.
Everytime I say "LAZUHRR", I hold my Pinky to my Lip. You have to inject some humor when giving a highly technical brief to an audience of engineers and scientists.
But that is more mispronunciation than misspelling.

It's an awfully long time since there was a Leica dealer in Woolwich, that's certain...

"Len" always makes me cringe. I was recently offered a "Hasselblack" Xpan, which I almost bought.

Please also understand that language, both written and spoken, changes if it is to continue in use, if this bothers you try latin. If you really only like to look somewhat scholarly infront of others, again latin works
Ancient Greek is even better, especially if you use the Linear B alphabet.

I have trouble spelling Koinca right
Ah, that's easy: Sonica-Minolty.
(I loved an ad that I saw on a transit shelter once. It was a collage of many, many photos, and had a tagline that read "Sometimes a word is worth a thousand pictures. Konica-Minolta". I don't know if how most people would count it, but I'd say that counts as two words, even if they are hyphenated.)

Saw a Craigslist ad for a Fugi once. Almost bought it but decided to get the Pentix instead.

its an interesting scrap you have there, have you got more of that page to show, it might be interesting to see it...
are you sure its from 1951? otherwise i would certainly guess it is from 1939, prior to the war (could be 38 though but 39 i think), those model camera fit that period too i reckon, all high end models as well
When I'm in the same place as the cutting I'll let you know, as there were some cinema listings on the back, but I don't have the whole page. There were other 1951 pages under the floorboards that seemed to be from the same paper, though I didn't want to remove all the history from the house! It's possible it's earlier, and I admit I also thought Leica screwmount and Contax II = 1930s, but remember things were a bit paralysed during the war years and even into the early 50s. There was a large increase in income tax to pay for the war.
The other thing is they could easily have been using the same plates for printing as before the war, the Leicas still looked the same, and the Contaxes hadn't changed a lot.

What? Nobody's come up with "flair"? As in "this lens has a lot of flair". Which would then beg to ask: why then do you say that lens isn't so sharp?

Yeah, typojoe.com, fatfingers, etc. will search ebay for misspellings. You could also try a site like ebuyersedge.com that lets you set up saved misspell searches, along with normal searches, and get emails sent to you when a matching item is newly listed.
It may be worth a try to look for some misspelled listings, buy them (set up a snipe if an auction) if you can get a good enough deal, re-list them with a better description, photos, etc. Supposedly there's $ to be made that way, arbitrage is the phrase I guess.
If you just want to generate a misspelled list for yourself for whatever reason, you can use misspelling-tool.com. Not sure what you could use the list for however.

I found this scrap of newspaper under the floorboards of a house, I think it was from 1951...
It just shows how old the voightlander misspelling must be!
Ok, on the other side of the paper there are cinema listings for the week of the 16 of January, for The Story of Molly X, Ingrid Bergman in Hitchcock's Under Capricorn, and The Romantic Age, which means it's from 1950 (all the films were from late 1949 in the US).
