In case you don't see the edit summary from your undone edit later:

The YouTube captions for RWBY videos are actually written by fans, not Rooster Teeth themselves. Anyone can write and edit those captions. I've even done it myself quite a few times to remove fans' jokes and commentary.

If you get to the RWBY videos early enough and turn on the captions, you'll see what I mean. It's incredibly obvious that fans write those captions. For example, when the Volume 4 Character Short first came out, the captions had things like "*FOOT!*" when a Beowolf's paw appeared on-camera and "*EYES!!!!*" when Ruby opened her eyes.

As such, we tend not to use the YouTube captions as confirmation of anything, much less the spelling of something. We've gone with Sanus for the continent name, since it's a real word (Latin for "healthy"), and the location names in RWBY seem to all be real words. Though, of course, Vytal is an intentional misspelling of Vital, but as far as I've noticed, they haven't misspelled any other location names.
