Hi Bonnie,
I know they’re not a fraudulent company. Try emailing Rachel Honoway rachel@lurn.com – she commented on this post back in March when it first happened.

Why or how they changed their name is unimportant if you cannot contact them or get them to call you back so you can talk to a real live person. If anyone has anyway for me to contact these people, who I believe may be a fraudulant outfit, please help me to do so. No one returns calls or e-mails and I have been trying for a week!! Thanks for any help!!!

I'm not sure something related to learning would want to be misspelled but I guess they are going for social/web 2.0 brand. I'm sure they do a good jub with their stuff but not sure the name change will help when their original name was good!

I completely agree with the “educational services and institutions should use proper spelling and grammar” mind set, but I'm also a spelling & grammar enforcement nut lol

The new name is a major FAIL in my opinion... it comes across as "cute" or "trying to be cool", like you said, but the problem is that the name they've chosen to represent a training service is a misspelled word. Call me old-fashioned on this one maybe, but I think educational services and institutions should use proper spelling and grammar, else they instantly lose all credibility. It's not "Harvrd", "StnFrd" or "Teh Univrsty of Txs".

Spell it right or don't use it. Obviously, learn.com is taken - come up with something else, something that isn't a ridiculous Web2.0 (it's over, move on) misspelling.
