I think that whoever wrote the captions was just ignorant of the correct term and just made a mistake.
I see typos on TV all the time, like when I was watching the "A Channel" (the cheaper, poorer kid sister to City TV...so that's how I think of it) and they were doing a story about Winter Driving and about the Alberta Motor Association...it SHOULD have been the website:
www.ama.ab.ca, but no, they wrote
www.aBa.ab.ca
Another example of this is here:
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivo...ios/kimj.shtml
The reference to Kim being in "Pi Beta Pi" Sorority...well, we all know that the webmaster made a mistake and it should be "Pi Beta Phi". Sigh....
Oh well, not all of the rest of the world is obsessed with all things Greek the way we are....
