Kinng

This mail came from Jasleen in Canada.

"Hey there, Just got an opportunity to visit your blog "Misspelt Word of the Day". Pretty interesting! Cudn't resist sending you this BIG bollywood poster of "Singh Is Kin"n"g". The movie - Big hype in media and public, what are the directors and producers tryin to tell? Singh is what? KinNg? The word that doesn't even exist. Such a mortification for the Singhs all over the Globe. Would be great if you'll spread the word around! Thanks and good luck.
p.s. I need to read up on why the director decided to add an extra N in King. That means I will have to look up another recent Bollywood churn Kismat Konnection and the Malayalam movie Kankaru (= kangaroo).

Singh is Kinng isn't THAT bad. What about 'Karzzzzzzzz' or 'I. Proud to be an Indian'??!!!! Spelling, grammar...everything goes for a toss when it comes to bollywood! :P
