Look, I’m not judging — I’m hardly a stranger to typos myself — but when Peter turned on his PS3 last Thursday night and tried to register for Call of Duty Elite, he noticed that the spelling of Australia was a little bit… off.
Most likely it’s been fixed now, but it’s testament to the power of human error that a sign up form, which most likely had dozens upon dozens of eyes cast over it, still managed to get through with such a blatant typo.
Activision — we feel you’re pane!
Thanks Peter!

Don’t you know, USA always come before A! And it’s always No.1. No matter what No.1 actually was!
Some people on this site are stupid, America is their main customers of course it will be on the top.
I think everyone understands this but it does stand out when the rest are not ranked in the same manner.
‘muuurrrrica.
‘ comes before A
Most lists are actually alphabetical but automatically default to the United States for this reason. This is the lazy way of doing that.
Anybody looked at the title screen of Uncharted 3? “Developer by Naughty Dog” indeed.
This call of duty proofreading job was probably outsourced to those useless kotaku US monkeys. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times!
Top right corner, next to the sears is the Austrialian flag. Click it and then select the American flag.
There is a typo in this article about a typo!
“which most LIKE had dozens upon dozens of eyes cast over it”
Hey I still can’t even log into Elite. I’ve tried every day since release with no joy. Just another reason to stick to BF3 I suppose.
At least the S is in Australia. Grab brotherhood of the wolf bluray and were call Autralia
I want to show the people of Kotaku AUS something. Remove the last the letters from the misspelling and what do you get? Austria. Austria-lia and Australia, totally the same thing, right guys?
Yeah i noticed too that they just crtl+c Austria and added “lia” on the end. Had a good chuckle when I was signing up for my founder account.
In unrelated “news” my local JB has a review on Assassins Creed stating “If mickey mouse is your favourite Disney Character, you will LOVE this game” lol!
