Judith Jewelry - Wrong is Wrong

So there is a new line of Judith jewelry; I noticed that a new bracelet, earring, necklace, and ring was presented inspired by the sea called "Le Mer."  Wrong.  In French the sea is LA Mer (feminine) not LE Mer.  This is just lazy and stupid.  If you want to speak French please do it properly.

@Bubby Mommy    Is it also lazy and stupid to make errors in English?

Perhaps they are using Spanish, le mer.

The sea in Spanish is "el mar."

Spanish for 'the sea' is el mar.

 

It isn't the first time I've seen misspellings on the Q's website.

Jewelry is neither male  or female.  It is an object with no gender.

 

The maker can call it whatever he or she wants to...even a made up word if they wish.

 

I wonder why people are so silly about non issues...
