Where does this Etherium-meme(?) come from? I’ve seen several people writing Etherium and Monaro instead of Ethereum and Monero on mailing lists, but never understood what it means and where it comes from.
So, there is no interesting lore behind it?
Overall, I'd suspect people not immersed in the crypto world would easily fall into a spelling that "sounds" like they remember it - spelling phonetically is a lousy way to spell but some percentage of the world does it.
