I understand typos, but when it is for someone who wants to run a service which would have very high visibility for a companies image, they really aren't acceptable.

Ah! "Corporates" is a term that's often used within European professional service firms and is a holdover from my Dutch corporate banking days. Thanks for the advice, I'll change!

Ah, I did not know that. I just assumed with a .co domain, and mostly targeting American social media companies the main focus would be on US English.

Most of are customers are American. Just the old habits dying hard :-)
