Algemeen verkeerde spellings van Nieu- Bethesda

Die eerste spelfout het reed ingeslyp in 1878, toe die dorp gestig is en die naam nu Bethesda verkeerdelik as Nieu-Bethesda geskryf is. "New Bethesda" is een van die gewildste spelfoute maar daar is al veel meer kreatiwe foute begaan bv: Nu, Nieuw, Niew, as voorsetsel en Bethesda as Betesda, Bathesda, Batesda, Bethesta, Betesta, Bathesta en Batesta.
