— It's spelled ''Cincinnati'' (@ItsCincinnati) August 30, 2019
It's hard for anyone to spell Cincinnati if you haven't had to do it quite a few times. People who live there have it down, but visiting rock stars do not. When KISS played Riverbend Music Center Thursday, they sold commemorative t-shirts for $50, complete with the city's name ...with two "t"s. CityBeat reports:
KISS's variation on the common misspelling is fairly common — the double "Ns" seem to confuse people. It's as if they start writing it, knowing there's a double letter somewhere, but are unsure of exactly where. Some go for a single second "N," then a double "T," but KISS went all-in with a double "N" and a double "T," just to be safe. Epic.
Anyway, thanks to Jean Simmons and the rest of the band for a great final show!
People had a good time over the snafu on Twitter. Locals couldn't wait to report the incident to the Twitter account It's spelled ''Cincinnati.'' And it wasn't the only mixup of the night.
That's not riverbend
