A misspelling of a simple word children learn to spell correctly at around 8 or 9. That's not criticism - it's observation and it's only an action of "smartarses" to point out errors when they do it badly. Spelling is easy - it's the writing which takes thought.
Did you recieve the receipt ?

Recieve is an extremely common and irritating misspelling of Receive. Receive, as you know, means to have aquired something. If you see the word 'Recieve' written anywhere, criticise whoever wrote it. their spelling pure ignorance.
examples of stupid mistakes are all around us. recieve is one of them.

You honestly should not be called illiterate for such a mistake. This word is just truly deceptive.

The spelling bee champion of his 1st grade class above me neglected to correctly spell "acquired", so it seems all of you who are reading this get a double-dose of spelling corrections.

Push button, Recieve Bacon 

A humorous meme that began with a photo of an electric hand drier with the pictures describing how to use the machine. (One presses the button to begin the airflow) The images looked like they described "Push button to receive bacon"
*Guy looks at hand drier* "Ooh! Look! Push button, Recieve Bacon !"
