Does anyone know why this mis-spelling is so popular?
I have encountered it as far back as 1980.

I don't know. Can you explain to me why correcting people's spelling is important when they aren't asking for editorial feedback? I am a professional editor and I don't correct spelling or grammar in Internet posts unless it's a post by a friend and I know that friend won't take it amiss. There are enough people with dyslexia and dysgraphia in the world that it's a bit ableist to make those corrections otherwise. If you truly don't understand what someone is saying, then you can ask them; otherwise, wince at errors if you must but do it quietly.
