trademarked spelling

The practice of spelling a word incorrectly on purpose in order to make it easier to find it on the internet or in an internet search. The practice seems to have come about only since the commercialization of the internet.

There is a big new shopping mall called the mall of Millenia and they spell the word millennia incorrectly on purpose which I would call a trademarked spelling since they can trademark Millenia and call it their own word.

Finnish Fire Spell

Another word for Molotov Cocktail, an incendiary device used by the Finns during the Winter War, and was first used in the Spanish Civil War, before they were named after Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav M. Molotov, who remarked that the bombing runs on Finland were actually supply drops, which they weren't, as one could guess.

"Did you see those LARPers using their Finnish Fire Spell to light their campfire?"
