Not to be confused with actual [[FallenAngel Rogue Angels]] of {{Satan}}, even if they really are [[VillainousFashionSense wearing]] [[RedIsViolent Rouge]], [[EvilIsAngular Angles]], or indeed [[SissyVillain Satin]].

* Music/YoLaTengo have a song called "The Story of Yo La Tango," as a joke about their band name frequently being misspelled that way. Ironically enough, this leads to people "correcting" the song title: Even All Music Guide's track-listing for ''I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass'' lists it as "The Story Of Yo La ''Tengo''." The CD-text that appears when you put the CD into your computer adds "Yes -- it should be Tango!" after the song title.

* Crust punk / {{Grindcore}} band Sore Throat have a few releases where they've been billed as ''Soar'' Throat - this may be intentional, as they've also gone by [[FunetikAksent Saw Throat]] and [[LuckyCharmsTitle $ore Throat]].

* Crust punk / {{Grindcore}} band Sore Throat have a few releases where they've been billed as ''Soar'' Throat instead - this may be intentional, as they've also used the variants [[FunetikAksent Saw Throat]] and [[/LuckyCharmsTitle $ore Throat]].

If the words are correct, but the punctuation, grammar, or other usage is just '''wrong''', that's WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma. Compare with SpellMyNameWithAnS, where confusion occurs because ''nobody'' can agree on how a name is spelled (this is TruthInTelevision; the Associated Press estimated there were more than 150 different ways the name of the former ruler of Libya, Moammar (or Mohamar) Ghadaffi, Quadaffy, (or Kadafy), etc. could have been transliterated into English). When this is done by a character in a work of fiction (or just by someone sending fanmail), expect them to receive a GrammarCorrectionGag in response. See {{Malaproper}} for someone who does this with the spoken word. If this is done intentionally, either to make a character's name seem more unique or to capitalize on a percieved ''coolness'' in that spelling, it's XtremeKoolLetterz.

* There's a UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}} game called ''[[http://www.gb64.com/game.php?id=19456 Witts End]]''. "We hope that after playing this game you do not end up at your WITTS END !!" The programmer apparently wasn't that good at English.

* ''Series/BreakingBad" after Skinny Pete hands Jesse a iece of paper containing the adress of the couple who stole some of their meth:

* French "Rouge[= =]Rebelle" nail varnish sold in the US as "Rogue Red". You can hardly blame those [[EagleLand Merkins]] who think "Rebelle" is French for "Red". [[labelnote:It's not]]"Rebelle" means rebel, or rogue, and "Rouge" means red. Also, in French the adjective usually comes after the noun. So "Rouge[= =]Rebelle" translates as "Rebellious Red".[[/labelnote]]

** Bass (the fish) is pronounced differently from bass (the musical instrument/voice). The fish rhymes with "class [[note]] which is itself unhelpful as, in the UK at least, this can be pronounced cl-ass or cl-arse cf grass bath etc[[/note]];" the musical instrument rhymes with, well, "base."

* Fuchsia/fuschia is also common.

** One of the [[BribingYourWayToVictory Items of the Month]] specifically starts life as the familiar hatchling, "a cute angel," and becomes on hatching the much uglier and less intelligent-looking "[[JustForPun obtuse angel]]."

* An Atlas is a book of maps, named for a character from Myth/ClassicalMythology. Creator/{{Atlus}} is a game developer best known for the ''Franchise/MegamiTensei'' series.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}:'' Megamind ''intended'' for Hal to take up the superhero name of Titan, but Hal mistakes this for Tighten and calls himself that instead, even as he turns to villainy and burns his new name into the city with EyeBeams.

** And Madame Rouge is a member of the Brotherhood of Evil, enemies of the Comicbook/DoomPatrol.

* Mythologically speaking: ''Cerberus'' is [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the multi-headed dog who guards the gates of Hades]]. ''Cerebus'' is [[ComicBook/{{Cerebus}} a philosophical aardvark]]. Incidentally, [[CerebusSyndrome the phenomenon]] for ToneShift from Comedy to Drama is named after the latter, which is somewhat fortunate[[note]]or not, as evidenced by the existence of this entry[[/note]], because such a shift is not inherently synonymous with a shift to DarkerAndEdgier which is where the former would come in.

* The post-''Crisis'' Comicbook/{{Superboy}}'s civilian name is Conner Kent, yet it's common to see him misnamed as "Connor", which is a legitimate name, but more common in Scotland and Ireland.

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Norman Osborn]], a.k.a. [[Franchise/SpiderMan the Green Goblin]], usually gets his last name misspelled. No, he is ''not'' related to Music/OzzyOsbourne. His ''[[ComicBook/Marvel1602 1602]]'' counterpart is called "Osborne", with an E, but no U.

** PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1959/07/19 this]] a 1959 strip. Linus makes flash cards and practices them on Charlie Brown. He successfully identifies each word despite them being misspelled, he backs out from doing anymore due to the strain on his eyes. The final panel has his dialogue deliberately misspelled as a bonus.

** PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1959/07/19 this]] strip from 1959. Linus makes flash cards and practices them on Charlie Brown, but every single word on them is spelled wrong, including "taybul" and "kow". While Charlie successfully identifies each (misspelled) word, he declines from doing any more because "awl thys reeding is harrd onn mi eyys!"

* In ''Film/LethalWeapon2'', Riggs is standing outside the South African embassy (he can do little else to the movie's BigBad at this point, [[DiplomaticImpunity because of his diplomatic immunity]]) with a sign that says "End Aparth''ie''d". Arguably intentional; Riggs certainly made a point of making sure the villain knew he was there.
