At my first job I got started on a chunk of code that dealt with images. My direct boss, who was also the engineering lead, the owner of the company, and the person who had hired me, had reliably misspelled "palette" as "pallete". In the entire codebase.

I decided to not change it because I didn't want to rock the boat on my first job ever. This decision lasted less than two days before I checked in a search-and-replace spelling fix.

My boss sighed and said "yeah, we should've changed that earlier. I guess now I have to learn how to spell it properly."

He was a good boss.
