Do you know anyone that calls a portable computer a labtop?

I thought it might be a common term for it in another country, but I Googled and found out that some people are just...well, I'll let Urban Dictionary handle this one:
Labtop?

Here's another question - Do you ever not correct people just so they will go around repeating whatever they are saying wrong and look stupid to as many people as possible before someone else corrects them?

labtop

A word that inexperienced college freshmen (most often girls) call their new laptops.

College Freshman: I just got my new labtop, it's awesome!
Experienced Geek: Laptop.
College Freshman: Yeah, that's what I said! Labtop!

I find that utterly mind bottling.

Yea. A few friends of mine do it. I don't even bother correcting them.

Me and my friends had a brief "argument" over whether it was labtop or laptop. I simply said, labtop wouldn't make any sense, however laptop, considering they can be used on your lap, does. They said they were pretty sure it was labtop, but going to a couple eStores on the net quickly disproved them... end of that. And I can definitely see the freshman college girls doing that, lol.
