Sorry, using "patton" for "patent" three times in a single message can't be called a "simple typo".

Dictionary.com gives the following definition:

Quote:

typographical error

(typo) An error while inputting text via keyboard, made despite the fact that the user knows exactly what to type in. This usually results from the operator's inexperience at keyboarding, rushing, not paying attention, or carelessness.

Compare: mouso , thinko.

Maybe Illitero?

(Sorry D.J.)
