I thought spelling mistakes were the mark of a manager. ;-)

I've known a couple over the years, who'd you wonder if they ever

The one that always gets me - and it is relevant to computing - is the
use of the words affect and effect. Too often they get misused for
each other. Sometimes to the point where I have to sit and think
about what the author is talking about :-)

Most things we can put down to typo's but not completely the wrong word.
