spelling mistake
Orthographic slip-up
A spelling mistake is a word written with incorrect letters—*recieve* for *receive*, *definately* for *definitely*.
The term is interchangeable with misspelling, though spelling mistake emphasizes the error while misspelling names the result: The document was full of spelling mistakes.
In the age of autocorrect, spelling mistakes often appear as wrong-word substitutions rather than traditional letter errors.
