Excellent point. These errors are fairly common. When I use this username, I somewhat frequently see people write it as brettel. I guess that means that they interpret it as brett-el, when in reality it’s b-trettel. I can understand this.
I think of memory errors as retrieving something other than what was stored. In this case I doubt people “stored” your name correctly—most likely they interpreted it wrong to start with. It’s a perception error, then.
It’s not a memory error, it’s a hasty pattern-match error.

Eh, you’re lucky. I always read ‘malcolmocean’ as ‘macromole—wait’.
I think it’s a strong-prior error. There are many different spellings, one or two letters apart, and I pick the one I’ve seen most often.
I agree that it’s a pattern-match error, but I think I’d classify that as a type of memory error.
