Misspellation 

Very sexy variation of misspelling. When someone misspells a word because they are incredibly stupid, that's a misspellation.

Len wrote "wasy" instead of "easy", I tried to correct her mistake and wrote "wast": I misspelled her misspellation.

misspelt 

Yet another example of a 'strong verb' past form. It is the past tense and past participle of misspell. Apart from dialectal preferences, it is equal in meaning to the form misspell in all ways.

British English shows a preference for retaining strong verb forms (burnt, learnt, spelt, dreamt, spoilt etc). American English shows a preference for ignora... I'm mean simplification (burned, learned etc).

Compare insure/ensure and inquiry/enquiry.

Most strong verbs' past tense is misspelt in American/British English.

Misspellrony 

When hipsters intentionally misspell words, using common internet lingo such as srsly, n' junk, LAWLZ, and wtfbbq to be ironic. However, they do it so often they they are no longer being ironic and instead, just incredibly stupid. This often occurs in kids who frequent 4chan.

Indie Kid: OH HAI THERE.
Regular Kid: Hey.
Indie Kid: want 2 halp mii weth mah engli-lish paperz?
