I am not the spelling or grammar police but I really do find some of the spellings that people use to find the OfficialAres.com website really very interesting.

Some of the spellings appears to come from nowhere: Aers, Aeres, Aris. The visitors using this variations on the Ares name are spread across the globe and appear to have only the fact that they got the name wrong between them. Who knows what the reasons behind these spellings are; simple quick-fingers syndrome may have something to do with it. Over-reliance on my word processing program’s auto-correct facility might be another (and is a bane of my spelling).

Other misspellings appear in clusters across the world map, and it is only natural to assume that these must come from groups of people with similar linguistic characteristics. ‘Arez’ comes most often from French speaking visitors while Areas comes from those from Greek locations.

The most common misspellings come from visitors in Latin American countries: Aires and Aries being, interestingly, syntactically correct words in English.

More interesting than the huge variety of spellings is the fact that all of these people end up at the OfficialAres.com site. Ares for one and all, whatever the language!
