Is there a special name for spelling words incorrectly on purpose ?
quoting?


when you spell something wrong on purpose you should use (sic) to show that it was intentionally done.

Reply:Divergent, variant or invented spelling. You don't have to be stupid to spell incorrectly. Look at all the products with incorrect spelling. It's done for effect.
