“Lager” is actually a German word meaning “camp” or “warehouse.” The verb “Lagern” means “to store.”

I like to watch a tv show from the UK called ‘Escape To The Country”. They summarized a home they had just shown a couple: Spelled ACRES AS ACERS

Pretty silly mistake.

LOL. I remember skimming the owner’s manual for a Japanese car years ago when they started becoming popular. The section on how to change a tire was hilarious.

That’s ok, Budweiser has mistakenly put “beer” on its label for years.
