Why people write “chocalate”

The misspelling “chocalate” is only one letter off: it writes A where chocolate has O, an easy slip because in an unstressed syllable both vowels can sound like the same soft "uh".

Spell-checkers catch the mistake in a document, but not in a handwritten note, a text message or a word game. Writing the word out a few times while saying the tricky part aloud is the quickest way to make chocolate automatic.
