LOL what, you guys don't like HAMPSTERS!? THEN WHY YOU ON THIS FORUM!?!??!

Just kidding

I agree. Sometimes I do pronounce it HAMPSTER just to be stupid, but otherwise I can't stand the misspelling of the word either hehe

I really really hate it when people spell it 'hampsters' I just wanna message them (on ebay and gumtree) and tell them to spell it right!

If you are advertising and such you really should spell it correctly... it doesnt bother me considering you wouldn't expect young children to be able to spell hamster readily.

i hate it when people spell hamster with a p, especially when im looking on ebay for cages. I would have thought that it was rather easy to spell :L

I don't understand it lol, do people even say it like that? I guess it's an accent thing but I pronounce it hamster, not hampster

I do the same as Obscura, sometimes say hampster to be silly. But never spell it that way!

It does my head in when i see it written like that but i am guilty of saying Hampster.
