Back on track, guys.
Here's one that pops up every now and then, and it seems I'm the only one that spots it: my favorite fairy tale features a very nice looking fairy tail. 
I'm not even sure about some letters. Why do we have a C? The sound it makes is the same sound as either a K or an S. Though there are the CH sounds out there. English is weird.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

English is weird. It's the result of speaking a very old Germanic language with lots of romance language influences particularly old Norman French, French, and Latin.

Yep. It's one of the few spelling errors you can actually hear.
