I know, I'm totally irreplaceable lol.
The biggest reason I correct the spelling of wouxun is because if someone 
types in wauxum into ebay or google, your not going to find what your 
looking for.
And, if they call up a radio store and pronounce it like jaws or other 
screen readers/synths do, they won't really have a clue what you are asking 
for right away.
So, I correct spelling, and give the appropriate pronounciation as well.
I know if I was a new comer, and someone was totally miss spelling the name 
of a new radio and I went to look up more info on it on say google, or was 
looking to perchase one on ebay, I'd be a little confused and anoyed by the 
blatent miss spelling and miss pronounciation of the name of the radio.
I think it has happened to me before, and that's why I'm quick to correct on 
stuff like this.

So, my intensions are genuine.
