A common misspelling of "receive". Some smartasses like to "criticize" this mistake, but "they're" usually the ones who make the actually irritating misspelling of many other words.
Look at these morans! 'Their' 'writting' the word receive wrong, but 'there' 'totaly' 'delireious' 'aboot' it! They 'should of' not 'writen' recieve!

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 ?
