spelling mistakes and slogans

why is it every time i have a slogan with spelling mistakes in it, it does better than the correctly spelt one!!
"Tetris taught me spatial awareness
of 18 votes, 17% like it""
Tetris taught me spacial awareness
of 39 votes, 62% like it"
i know that it doesn't have the voting that it should but still what the?

I think I have experienced this! Here's my theory:

1. People may not recognize 'spatial' as easily as 'spacial' even though the former is more correct.

2. The voters don't like a 'reworked and re-submitted' slogan. My first take almost always does better. (And I assume 'spacial' was submitted first in this case)

But that's just my theory

I tend to agree with Nathan on both counts. I've noticed that a resubmitted [corrected] slogan may not fair as well as its predecessor. Go figure!

it's true..check out my slogans..I have resubmitted stuff I thought was worded better and they are doing worse!!

If I've made a mistake with one of my slogans or think that I can make a better version, I generally leave it a couple of hours then resub.

thanks for your feedback guys! I think Nathan's got it down.

but that's the thing staffel, I've waited a couple of weeks in between putting up the new one. if you'll could be helpfull and vote again :) i'm sure i'll be fine :D

I try to find the problem out with the quickness, or else what happens to you happens to me. I hate it, but its part of the harsh world of slogan-eering. haha. vote for my slogans when you have time! they're spell check proof i hope.

Yeah, what these folks said. If you want to resubmit a slogan, erase the original one and wait a day before doing so, so the same people don't see the new one and think it's just a glitch in the system and hit NO to it.

i think it depends on the people currently on the typetee page voting

sometimes smart haters are present clicking OMG, No like a rampant maniac

other times...

nice and kinda grammatically challenged people are voting

I'D Wear It!

All about me

i've always wanted to do t-shirt designs. My preferred style of expressing myself is photography mainly black and white film images. I enjoy being involved in the entire creative process, including darkroom work. It seems, however, with the general shift to digital and my environmental concerns, I am producing less and less work�so i've started using photoshop.
