Why do people spell Cummins with a "ings" ?

This does irritate me because I used to work for Cummins. Just recently I have been watching a television commercial from a local Nissan dealer talking about the new Titan pickup where in both the spoken and written wording they say Cummings right at the point where they are showing the Cummins badge on the side of the truck.

It just seems to go along with the dumbing down of people and the don't care attitude.

There our sum people who break in quite zones by hospitals.

I have a hard time going with that one as far as what you see here. We all grew up with dial telephones.

But yeah, you don't want to see BFF and LOL on a resume. Do resumes still exist?

My point was the people who say Cummings may be thinking that all the rest of us are sayin' it wrong by dropping the g, so they try to "do it right" by saying Cummings and spelling it Cummings

Very possible.

Very good. I've noticed that too, everybody will correct the spelling or pronunciation of his or her name.

It's just considered polite to ask someone how to pronounce his name when in doubt.

People are too lazy to read properly, don't know any better or don't care. I'll bet those who don't care are the first to get upset if somebody gets THEIR name wrong.
