What is the meaning behind the misspelling of the original title of ``The Pursuit of Happyness''?

After that, “The Pursuit of Happyness”

By the way, aren't you worried about Chris after that? In the movie, he was successful and founded his own company, which he sold for billions. He has since established a larger company with offices in Chicago, San Francisco, and New York. And he also got his long-awaited Ferrari. What's more, he bought not just any Ferrari, but the Ferrari that once belonged to NBA superstar Michael Jordan.

In order to help people in the same situation as him, he established a scholarship for children of single parents to attend university. And, most importantly, he still lives with his son, Christopher Jr.

In a line in the film, he says, ``The word Happiness has an I in it, not a Y.'' “I” has found the “The Pursuit of Happyness”. I don't think Chris's ``pursuit of happiness'' was something he intended to pursue. I just wanted to make my life easier and not suffer anymore, and what I found was ``happiness.''
