You've seen that red squiggle under your own writing. Here it sits under 'wierd', which is how the i before e rule says to spell it. So the rule caused the typo, and the title says it isn't your fault.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
