'On the backside of my Lateralus CD track nine is titled "Lateralis" Withj no U. Anybody else? BEcause I've seen both. It's pretty trivial I guess, but interesting nonetheless.

From the TDN FAQ (http://toolshed.down.net/faq):

So the back of the CD lists this song title as "Lateralis" ...

Ah, the new six-million-dollar question.
As "Salival" was fraught with production errors, so too was the album "Lateralus". Unlike the intentional different spellings of the song "Ænema" and the album "Ænima", done so to differentiate between the meanings of the two, the title of this song is meant to be spelled the SAME as the album. Once the error was brought to the band's attention, two million copies had already been printed - and many of those already sold. Subsequent printings of the album are scheduled to have a corrected spelling of the song title: "Lateralus."

The official site has posted interactive animations of the new album with the same misspelling, but they have also explicitly corroborated the correct spelling as being with a "U".

I own two misspelled copies and one with the error corrected. Still waiting on the vinyl...
