Sorry, @Jayson1, the reason I'd asked if you were in the Southern US is your particular spelling of "sale". I'm guessing you meant to say that it's "a weird item to sell," but in the South, sell and sale sound exactly or almost exactly the same. I've seen it over and over and over again on forums I belong to. It's not a comment on intelligence at all, but a comment on accents.
I am from OKlahoma. I think it's just more of a mental typo. I sometimes get even words I know messed up or other weird things. For example when I want to type "now" I keep wanting to put a k on the front for some reason even though that comes out as know.
