Construction I constantly mistype as CONSTRUCTINO, which is basically still the same word, only as spoken by someone with a really horrible fake Italian accent.

yeah - the tion/tino typo is so brilliant. it makes all these sort of boring nouns into something more exotic and mediterranean.

i always try to mistype manoeuvre and then end up mistakenly spelling it correctly.

On one of today's threads, I typed in "releif" and had to go back and correct it every time!

i swear i have never seen it before but twice in 2 days now i have seen "marshall law". and then i googled it to see if it was a thing and it is spelled like that on the image caption on the wikipedia page, despite the correct spelling appearing on the page itself and in the document that is being captioned

is there a term for this, somewhere in between misspelling and malapropism but not quite either? i know there are some classic examples but i am drawing a total blank.

oh, i guess i have seen populous instead of populace, but that's not one of the common ones i am thinking of
