Miscellaneous: Caramel is a Three-syllable Word

It annoys me that so many people say "karml" when they mean "caramel"--the familiar product of sugar and heat. Yesterday I had an experience that was particularly annoying: In a Starbucks I saw a big, hand-lettered chalkboard sign promoting the latest coffee drink. The concoction was described as being "carmelly smooth." Have people started spelling it as if it were two syllables, too?
