When you see the word "Fecebook" you may just think that it's a typo, but in reality, many Indonesians are actually typing out "Fecebook" intentionally into their search box. Fecebook, which is NOT a social networking site to divulge in details about one's bathroom blunders, it's just one of Indonesia's common misspellings for the ever popular "Facebook."
According to a recent study on an Asian Tech Blog, it is found that many Indonesians are trying to spell out 'Facebook' as it sounds as opposed to how it's really spelled.
Due to the increase of usage of the term 'Fecebook' the word itself is increasing in popularity. Despite it's spelling error, Fecebook, Facebook, or however you decide to spell it, is still a popular and vital part of social media for Indonesians, spelling errors and all.
