Some works have titles that could have come straight from Rouge Angles of Satin. It's not an error, though, at least not directly. It's a deliberate reference to someone else making the same misspelling (usually one in the work itself, so expect a Title Drop), or otherwise an attempt to counterfeit the inability to spell. Not to be confused with Tyop on the Cover, when the misspelling occurs by accident. Also compare Xtreme Kool Letterz and Funetik Aksent. |

Samurai Shodown. Whether this was for Rule of Cool or part of the "Blind Idiot" Translation that made the series famous is unknown, but it's remained to this day. Supposedly, this is because its originally planned title was Shogun Shodown, with "Shogun" changed to "Samurai" at the last minute. | |

An in-universe example in Discworld, where in an early example a poorly-spelled wish results in someone spinning straw into Glod (i.e. a grumpy dwarf instead of the precious material); and later books reveal that generations of dwarves have stuck with the name, e.g. horn player Glod Glodsson. | |

Senran Kagura gets this in both English and Japanese: In Japanese, "Senran" is the closest thing to a misspelling as kanji can get — it's two characters that stand for things that make perfect sense in context, but form a gibberish word when compounded. The English versions initially skipped over this - the untranslated title and lack of a dub advertise its Quirky Work status well enough (and presumably they didn't want buyers thinking they were getting a poorly translated mess when the premise is a bit of a hard sell already). The subtitles for the PlayStation games started to show it, though. Shinovi Versus is a straight example. Estival Versus could be another, but "estival" is an archaic word meaning "summery", which fits the setting perfectly - it's unknown if this was deliberate. |

Inglourious Basterds, the 2009 Tarantino film, contains a group called the "Basterds", but Tarantino has refused to explain the title further than that, saying, "You do an artistic flourish like that, and to explain it would just take the piss out of it and invalidate the whole stroke in the first place." In all likelihood, the reason for this is because there's already a movie called ''The Inglorious Bastards''. The original script has a flashback in which Donny is called a "basterd" by an old lady in his old Bostonese (or as it's spelled in the script, "bostinese") neighborhood, in a positive way. This wouldn't have been visible in the film even had it been included (it's spoken dialogue, after all), but it's there. More obviously, there is Aldo Raine's rifle in the finished film that has an engraving with the word spelled just like the title. |

Inverted with Beetlejuice. The character Betelgeuse's name is always seen spelled correctly, to the point that a character mispronounces it while trying to read it aloud. The title of the film spells it phonetically so that viewers will be able to pronounce it "correctly" before seeing the film. Interestingly the star Betelgeuse isn't pronounce "Beetlejuice" in real life, but "Be-Tal-Gys," with a hard G. | |

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee has to shoehorn the word Odd in there. As does its sequel, Abe's Exoddus. The sequel following that, Munch's Oddysee, inherits the misspelling of the original to highlight its new protagonist. The fourth game, Stranger's Wrath, is the first Aversion and the future remakes/reimaginings, New n' Tasty and Soulstorm are both aversions as well. |

The Australian sketch comedy show The Micallef Program was The Micallef Pogram for its third season. This was because of running debate about the correct spelling of program/programme. It was 'Program' in the first season and became 'Programme' for the second. They went for deliberate misspelling in the third in an attempt to stop the letters. | |

Kaamelott has an episode titled "La mort le roy Artu", a mangled ye olde French of "King Arthur's death" or "Death and King Arthur", based on the equally mispelled (to modern appearances) Le Morte D Arthur. It's also intentionally misleading, since the episode is about Kaamelott's priest selling guided tours of Arthur's tomb to raise money, which Arthur only finds out about when he's dismissively introduced to the tour group as Lancelot's squire. | |

Freex was a series about a bunch of super-powered teenagers that was part of the short-lived Ultraverse line from Malibu Comics in the 1990s. The title came from the misspelling of the word "freaks" by Ray, a boy who looked like a rock monster and, having spent most of his life locked in a basement because his parents were ashamed of his appearance, had a very limited education. | |

Love and Freindship by Jane Austen is an Epistolary Novel where "freind" is always written for "friend", along with a number of other misspellings. The misspellings are all Austen's (she wrote it when she was 14). She corrected the spelling later in life, but editors of her work tend to leave it uncorrected as they think it's charming. | |

Waterparks' "See You In In The Future" has an interesting story behind its redundant title: The song was originally released as "See You In The Future", then a photo of a fan's tattoo started spreading online because the tattoo artist accidentally wrote the title with two "in"'s; the band officially changed the song title on all streaming formats to match, saving the fan the trouble of having to fix it. | |

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse: Two achievements are named "Graet Jobb" and "Prefectionist", direct references to the In-Universe misspelled boss that you need to defeat to attain them. | |

The Young Visiters was written when the author was nine. Most editions preserve the misspellings, and The Film of the Book pronounces them phonetically. Because it's funnier that way. | |

Homestar Runner: The character of "Homsar" was created in the second episode of Strong Bad Email when a fan misspelled Homestar's name, which the creators found hilarious. The title of the cartoon "Weclome Back" came from a Running Gag on the site of misspelling "Welcome" as "Weclome". |

Kingdom of Loathing has an area called "The Misspelled Cemetary", apparently as a nod to the Stephen King novel. Monsters encountered here include zobmies, ghuols, and skleltons. | |

Hells Angels on Wheels is titled after the real Hells Angels, who don't spell their name with an apostrophe. | |
