    Sadly, if you Google it... it's all over. People do it and it seems to be catching on.

    ham·ster
    noun \ˈham(p)-stər\
    Definition of HAMSTER
    : any of a subfamily (Cricetinae) of small Old World rodents having very large cheek pouches
    See hamster defined for English-language learners »
    See hamster defined for kids »
    Origin of HAMSTER
    German, from Old High German hamustro, of Slavic origin; akin to Old Russian choměstorŭ hamster, of Iranian origin; akin to Avestan hamaēstar- oppressor
    First Known Use: 1607

    From Webster on line dictionary.

    Unfortunately people are spelling the way they hear, phonetically, therefore, hamPster.

    Okay, I think we all know how to spell hamster correctly now.

    Perhaps now we can get back to the thread and the question at hand?

    I don't think the OP actually had a question. So what more can we say really.
