This same move is used by elected officials in their correspondence to shield themselves from FOIA requests. I have seen it when I get back a FOIA’d email and someone/something they are talking about will have a misspelling, when you then FOIA the misspelling you discover that it is intentional and there are entire conversation threads using the misspelling. And since I have seen it more than a few times, with names that people clearly know how to spell, I assume it is an intentional effort to deceive.
