Why do so many people write Mastadon instead of Mastodon?
Why do so many people write Mastadon instead of Mastodon?
This has become a pet peeve of mine and as a non-native English speaker I just don't understand why so many people make that typo in the first place- what is it?

You expect Americans to know how to spell? As native english speakers? Pfft, that's insane.
mastodon is latin
Yes, words have etymology, but it doesn't really change anything and doesn't make latin, french, whatever-origin loanwords not be english or whatever the language is they're loaned to. You can't say "...well ackshually guillotine isn't english, it's french".
PS. It was a dumb joke.
