Maybe it is an intentional mispronunciation as a marketing ploy. A small cafe in my neighborhood recently displayed a sign advertising flotes. The elementary school across the street politely asked they correct the misspelling. No go, said the cafe.
If it is indeed a marketing ploy, it's surely worked. We've all been exposed, and who knows how many others are talking to their linguaphile friends about the ad.
