Thank you. That’s almost embarrasingly obvious. Thank you, though.

Were you doing the same thing I was doing and trying to tack a word on to the end of the other three instead of looking to tack it on to the front?

Yeah, but technically that’s not adding a word to a word the way the OP has it phrased. Why can’t the Germans spell “fart” correctly?

For the same reason that Amerikaners can’t even spell “bier” correctly.

Is it also the same reason Southern Californians can’t spell Americans correctly?

Yes, exactly. :o
