TWO NEW MISSPELLINGS OF "NUMISMATICS"

One word few coin collectors would miss in a spelling
bee is "numismatics". A team of spellers from the
Journal Sentinel of Wisconsin got it right and came out
on top of a charity spelling bee benefiting the Literacy
Council of Greater Waukesha.

"The three top teams went word-for-word through six
rounds before Waukesha-based R&R Insurance bowed
out on N-U-M-I-S-M-A-T-I-C-S - the team's effort at
spelling the study of money and coins was the incorrect
N-M-E-U-M-I-S-M-A-T-I-C-S."

Recently I received an email from a book scout stating
"here is a list of books I have found on numusmatics
literature." So there are two creative misspellings of
the word I hadn't seen before. Any other nominees?
