1	'''Basic Trope''': A cover with a typo.
2	* '''Straight''': The cover of ''The Troping Time Travelers'' says "The Troping Time Tarvelers".
3	* '''Exaggerated''': The cover says "ze tlobinh daim talverers".
4	* '''Downplayed''': The British version sometimes forgets to change "Travelers" to "Travellers".
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** A meaningful misspelling in the title done on purpose is not this trope, but an InheritedIlliteracyTitle.
7	** The cover is designed as to look like it was made by a character that doesn't spell very well.
8	** A Tarveler is an actual concept in the story.
9	* '''Inverted''':
10	** The title on the cover, ''The Troping Time Tarvelers'', is the correct title, but the creators often misspell the title as "The Troping Time Travelers" other places.
11	** The title is correctly spelled as ''The Troping Time Travelers'', but the book misspells "Travelers" as "Tarvelers" every single time.
12	* '''Subverted''':
13	** It looks like a typo, but the creators explain that it was [[InheritedIlliteracyTitle on purpose]] because the Troping Time Travelers spell really badly, and that their actual name is "Troping Time Tarvelers".
14	** [[ShownTheirWork It's spelled in proper Middle English]], not in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe that laymen expect.
15	* '''Double Subverted''': But it turns out to be a retcon.
16	* '''Parodied''': The film's tagline is "Taime travelerz can't spel, an neithere cna we".
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': Some versions of the cover misspell the title, but not all covers do. [[FlipFlopOfGod The creators can't agree with themselves which spelling is correct]].
18	* '''Averted''':
19	** The cover spells everything correctly.
20	** The cover has so little text there's essentially nothing to misspell. All misspellings of the title are considered correct for some reason.
21	* '''Enforced''':
22	** The creators aren't proficient in English.
23	** The cover was created in a hurry.
24	* '''Lampshaded''': The cover also says, "Trust us, our movie-making skills are much better than our spelling".
25	* '''Invoked''': Someone purposely messes up the spelling, hoping to ruin the film's chance of success.
26	* '''Exploited''': "If we make sure to spell our title correctly, in contrast to those 'Time Tarvelers', we'll attract all the intelligent people."
27	* '''Defied''':
28	** The creators make sure to get good proofreaders that prevent this kind of mistake.
29	** Timmy [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] to correct the title.
30	* '''Discussed''': "I hope they manage to spell our title correctly, otherwise we'll look stupid."
31	* '''Conversed''': "If they can't even spell 'traveler', how are they supposed to make a decent movie?"
32	%%* '''Implied''': ???
33	%%* '''Deconstructed''': ???
34	%%* '''Reconstructed''': ???
35	%%* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???
36	%%* '''Played For Laughs''': ???
37	%%* '''Played For Drama''': ???
