This has become a pet peeve of mine and as a non-native English speaker I just don’t understand why so many people make that typo in the first place- what is it?

English speakers, especially Americans, don’t put much value in spelling, especially on the internet. Can’t be arsed to Google it, or even look at the logo on the page they’re on. Just wing it because it sounds right and they’ve never actually read it.
Then they do read it and continue to get it wrong anyway, because fuck you that’s why, I guess?
People think it’s spelled Mastadon, because they pronounce it Mastadon. No one googles what they think they already know.
We may be pretty fucking dumb, but I don’t think disregard for spelling things correctly on the internet is a strictly American quality lol
