What is the word for intentionally incorrect spelling?

You know when people or businesses use improper spelling for effect?

eg. “Rogz for Dogz” or “Phantasy Star”

What is that called? I simply can’t find the answer anywhere.

My neighbor has a catering business. When people have parties at their homes, my neighbor cooks for them. she is a fabulous cook.

Many customers contact her before they have a party. She asks them alot of questions about the upcoming events. She finds out how

many people will be there. Then her and the customer decide on a menu. My neighbor hires servers to serve the food and to weight on the

people. She usually cooks the meals in her own home, but sometimes people ax her to preparing the food at their houses. She enjoys

working in her catering business, and she is good at all the parts of the job.

I’ve been using “enallage” in teaching visual rhetoric for graphic designers. I understand this as meaning the intentional error.

Lack of education or stupidity. Either can be an answer to what you seek for.
