Why do so many people write Mastadon instead of Mastodon? (jlai.lu)

This has become a pet peeve of mine and as a non-native English speaker I just don't understand why so many people make that typo in the first place- what is it?

Native English speaker here. Although I pronounce it Mast-a-don, I spell it Mastodon because that’s how it’s spelled and I know how to read and write. Also, I’ve never seen it spelled like that. English speaking or otherwise.
