Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg ... Is Shockingly Misspelled

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is a real place. For serious, it is. Just look at the picture above, where some guy is posing oddly in front of the lake's sign, which is misspelled, allegedly.

According to area locals anyway.

The Webster-Dudley-Oxford Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors has unanimously agreed to correct the spelling problems on the signs on Route 12 near Oxford and Route 193 near Thompson. 

The 45-letter name is misspelled, with an “o” where a “u” should be, at letter 20, and an “h” instead of “n” at letter 38. 
I mean, yeah. I suppose I could rant about the fact that you shouldn't name anything any name that included forty-five letters and how it's ironic that it's misspelled. But at this point, it seems a little obvious, no?
