That's because:
1. Carelessness caused some of the LEARNED scholars to make mistakes like those. They even never mind to proofread what they have written before publishing, though there are so many handy toots for spelling and grammar error checking.
2. Some of the writer were from the "native speaker" catagory, but were on the illiterate level. They never know the exact spelling, but just type whatever sounds like. Those were the ones that give our foreign native teachers the bad names.
