Emily C asked this question about The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time:
In Christopher's mother's letters, I find that she often misspells words. On page 107, for example, she writes 'lonley' instead of lonely: "And I felt realy lonley." But for some reason she writes it correctly on page 108: "Which meant that he was feeling lonely too." Is there a purpose for these misspellings? Because even after she corrects herself she still continues to misspell words (pg. 111: 'sholder,' 'squots.')
