When I used to bid on military surplus decades ago, the most common typo was "Wench" for "winch."

As in "barge comes equipped with a heavy-duty deck wench..."

No, I don't think it was accidental, most of the time.

Had a first year Contracts professor who made the same mistake while regaling the class with tales of his prior work representing Toyota.

He saw me grinning at his error, realized what he'd said, and bust out laughing.
