AAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHH! People who misspell "tuque" (them, not you) really f*ckin' get my goat...

From Wikipedia:
The word tuque is not etymologically related to the name of the chef's toque, although tuque is sometimes spelled "toque" (though still pronounced /tuk/) by assimilation. The word is also sometimes spelled "touque"; while this is technically a misspelling, it's a quite common one.

Um, yeah, I know. I wrote that paragraph in the Wikipedia article, actually. That still doesn't mean I have to like seeing it spelled that way...
