I have been reliably informed today that it's totally unacceptable to be ageist or xenophobic - even on the flimsiest of pretexts. So Imma call you all out for your orthographist ways!

Whoever told you that should read a book with regard to ageism. Xenophobia is just first Amendment bigotry, if you are into that sort of thing.

"I" and "U" are side-by-side on the keyboard, so probably just a typo.

But... still...

And, what an amazingly diverse bunch of kids in that photo. Almost every shade of caucasian there is.

Pretty sure whoever did the posting hit the wrong key with their finger. I'm sure they know how to spell the word. This seems like small potatoes.

Who in fact, is arguing it's a large potato? Benign speculation on a message board dedicated in part to benign speculation is not in fact, a 400 lb. potato.

That said, we do tend to expect professionalism from professionals, no? Coke rarely allows typo's in its branding...
