http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malapropismhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggcornhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpoonerismWe can still understand misspelt words. (Incidentally, the correct spelling of “misspelt” is “misspelt”, and while, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, “misspelt” and “misspelled” are both acceptable, “misspelt” is more usual in British English and “misspelled” in American English. So, make sure you spell “misspell” correctly and don’t misspell “misspell” as “mispell”, “mis-spell” or “miss-spell”, or misspell “misspelt” as “mispelt”, “mis-spelt” or “miss-spelt”.) http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/6cc395e6-db41-11da-98a8-0000779e2340.html
