If NAR spends so much money on PR

Why don’t more people know how to spell “Realtor”?

It’s great that people make their way to my blog when searching for Charlottesville Realtors -

But – for those who arrive (thank you for reading) searching for “realator” or “realitor” – it’s “Realtor.”

Re·al·tor      (rē’əl-tər, -tôr’) 
A service mark used for a real-estate agent affiliated with the National Association of Realtors. This service mark often occurs in print in lowercase and in the plural as well: “The economic aftershocks are already rippling through the area’s non-defense businesses, from realtors to pizzerias” (New York Times).

I’ve always thought it was two syllables. Who knew it was three?
