A men's salon near my place offers the services of a hair driyar, among other things. (Well, the fact is I just couldnt stand there and stare since it is an exclusively-for-men domain. Maybe there were a couple of other misspelt words, which I hope I can enlist here after a furtive glance each day I pass the place.)
A drier or dryer is something that dries; a machine for extracting moisture from cloth, grain etc., says the Chambers Dictionary.

All you imperfect spellers take heart. Following is a sentence from the obituary on Anna Nicole Smith in Economist.
"These were celebrated, American breasts, engineered by silicon to be as broad and bountiful as the prairie."
And we thought silicon was semi-conductor material and the implant silicone. (I am not sure if 'engineered by silicon' would amount to silicone.)
P.S. A trained eye brought it to my notice.
Anyway, good work Ladybird. To err is human, to laugh at it... er... more human. But aren't you too harsh when you say murder of the language?
