I don't know how people view "XBone" for the Xbox One. I know on some Xbox communities you get looked down on as a "hater" for calling it that, but I personally quite enjoy my One, and call it the XBone all the time. I just like the name. To me it's no different than calling the Playstation 4 "PS4." It's just shorthand. I just say it out of habit now. Because calling it "the One" sounds dumb. Xbone combines "xboox" and "one" using the o as a connector. It works. |

I know someone on a Resident Evil forum who would refer to Capcom as Ca$hcom. Which is doubly bad. Also Crapcom. |

There's some guy on 411mania who calls Hell in a Cell, 'Heck on a Deck.' Like, what does that even mean? I'd like to think "Heck on a Deck" is when the wrestlers fight on an incomplete ring consisting ONLY of the metal base and wood planks. |

Not sure if this belongs here or not
But when a letter is replaced with a number
Wip3out
Fant4stic
It doesn't look cool or edgy, it just looks stupid.
Cut it out

Tygress. I never understood why a Y was included. Was it supposed to sound edgy like a Z in place of an S? She was quite a looker, though.

I thought it was annoying in 2001 when the survivor series would be shown then changed to Surv1or.
With that said I love the nickname Sierra Piss for Sierra Mist.

The Dallas "Cowgirls", Washington "Deadskins", "Cindy" Crosby and Tony Romo (but with an H) are ones I hear all the time as Philly sports fan. It's embarrassing to be lumped in with people who use those. They are one reason I now listen to podcasts instead of sports talk radio.

On that note, have we stopped referring to every scandal as "-gate" yet? I just hope that one day there is a scandal involving contamination of drinking facilities that ends up being known as Watergate. |

To further this topic I can't think of any "clever" misspellings that I do like.
The clear majority of them make the "speaker" look childish and stupid since their argument relies on namecalling.

Bumping this, as I just saw a Youtube comment complaining about the fact he felt that Divas are overused in WWE, saying it was better as WWF, and it should be called, wait for it.... WWSHE. |

Bumping, because I just realized how much I hate the nickname "Nipple H".
Apart from the fact that it's just isn't very clever (I mean, they both have nipples), it's pretty damn objectifying . At face value, it either means "Triple H with boobs" or "that pair of boobs we associate with Triple H".

The English Premier League are filled with these.
Chel$ki(For Chealsea. Referring to the rich Russian Oligarch that owns them right now.)
Man $hieky(For Manchester City. Referring to Fecal matter and the fact that they have a Sheikh for an owner)
Manure(For Manchester United, or "Man U")
Loserpool(No really, I've heard that constantly to refer to Liverpool. Hope the person who came up with that didn't hurt themselves in the process.)
Arse-anal(For Arsenal. I've noticed that English fans do love to refer to asses and poop a lot in their insults)
I'm certain that there are more that I can't think of right now.

I don't like "Xmas"
No, not "taking Christ out of Christmas" part. And yes, I know it's been used for a long time.
But because I don't know of any other times when X is supposed to be pronounced "Chris"
"I went to the doctor and had an Chris-Ray done"
"Did you hear that X Jericho returned last week?"
