Probably because your brain is used to seeing it spelled one way, so the slight difference makes your brain uneasy. Like an itch you can't scratch.

You're right, I guess I have to practice being more flexible...

Ugh yes, so much! Another one is yuntif. I understand it's pronounced that way, but the words themselves are Yom Tov.

She was nifteres also annoys me amother bone. Nifteres is a noun aka the nifteres.

Shabbes and Shobbes really annoy me.

Someone I know writes "Chonikah" for Chanukah, which also irritates.

I believe it’s a combo of Shabbos and Shabbat.

Shabbes makes sense, sound wise.

According to the nekudot, it should be Shabbat (Shabbas if that's how you pronounce it).

yuntif is the combination of yom and tov in yiddish.
