ad homonym 

Attacking someone's grammar/spelling in debate rather than focusing on their argument. An intentional play on the word "ad hominem".
Person A: I think you're argument is illogical. Here are several well-reasoned arguments why I think so.

Person B: It's "your", not "you're". I will now call you names like "illiterate imbecile" while completely ignoring the fact that you pwned me in reason and logic.

Person A: That's an ad homonym attack.

Homonyms are words that can be either homophones and/or homographs. Homonyms are a blend of both of them.

A common example might be Mould vs Mold. While these can interchangeably refer to shape / fungus and vice versa, some English language professors ask students to use "Mould" for shaping whereas they should use "Mold" for fungus.
Student : I hate homonyms
