What about replacement words?

A while back I saw an ad in the paper advertizing a camper with an outdoor “Spicket”.

I wanted to call and ask if it was only available to Mexicans or if Crackers were allowed to buy.

Growing up in Central PA where there are lots of Germans (including my Dad) who pronounce their consonants hard, I was SHOCKED to discover the correct spelling was “spigot,” since “spicket” was indeed the word I had always heard.
