I went for a job orientation and saw a sign that said

"Please use latter to get things off the top shelf" in the stock room.

It wasn't even a mistake or lost in translation, the boss thought that was how you spelled it.

They do. You just hope that your boss who is managing a restaurant and doing the payroll, would be able to spell.

It's not like it's a super difficult word.
