The JC actually issued a press release stating that the spelling came from the owner. They were obviously a little peeved at Justin Zayat blaming them. In addition, as noted, they had plenty of time before his recorded first breeze to correct it. Logic tells us that they didn\'t know how to spell the word which is how they both submitted it misspelled and then didn\'t notice it was misspelled until it was pointed out to them (and too late).
