Alan got there first, but I might just as well send my post now that I've written it.
The correct word is ‘commercial’. ‘Commerical’ has a typing mistake. It’s one of those frequently recurring typos (typographical errors), which can happen if you type too fast.
Here are a few famous typos:
“I know judo, karate, jujitsu and other forms of marital arts.”
“Our massage treatments help relive your pain.”
The singing of a document. |

Teacher's comment at the end of an essay -
Your spelling is hopless.

| When I was about 18, a couple of friends and I went into a local bar and saw a girl we knew working as a waitress. We thought it was great that she'd found work, but she told us it was no big deal. There had been only two applicants, and under the question "Why do you want to work here?" the other girl had written, "I need a jop." So our friend was hired. |

| Note, though, that there's a big American bank called Comerica. |

Whoa! That's amazing! I'll think twice before using the number of Google hits to "prove" anything. |
