Folks often type "base" instead of "bass" too. I still know what they meant, and I don't assume their thoughts are invalid on the basis of how they type...I like to give folks the benefit of the doubt and assume that they can often think better than they type or spell. The poster did know the correct word, just used the wrong spelling, indicating another word. To me this is still a spelling error, while not a misspelling per se.
I might assume they had a lousy 2nd grade teacher though. :^)
