Misspelled: spelled a word incorrectly

Mispelled: an example of Muphry's law in action

“Misspelled: spelled a word incorrectly”: and example of a dodgy grammar.

“Misspelled: a word spelled incorrectly.”: better.

Grammar Nazi: One who uses refined vocabulary, correct grammar, constantly finds themselves correcting grammar and spelling (in forums, chatrooms, tumblr, YouTube, etc.)

Language change denier: As above, sans "Nazi" reference.

Reminds me of the following joke (sorry) :

Q: Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac?

A: He stayed up all night wondering if there was a dog.
