Mangling English: an occasional rant

Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).

I should like to draw your attention to this humorous company name:

Link: Superbike Tyre, www.superbiketyre.co.uk | Sprokets

However, since the company is called Superbike Tyre, I can’t. How come the spelling is correct in the text when it’s wrong throughout the navigation apparatus?
