I am dyslexic. This is a trivial malaprop compared to many I have dropped.
My dear wife has suffered much with this....
But read "The Gift of Dyslexia" by Ron Burns. I think quite visually and 3 dimensionally; part of the reason I am in protocol design. I see networks and packets flashing around in my mind. Then comes the struggle to convert those images into words.
---- sorry...don't mean to pick on you and my brother is dyslexic so I get it. I never pick on people's spelling.
I didn't relate the wrong usage of mute/moot to dyslexia and have a particular sensitivity to the number of people who use the fairly similar sounding words wrongly (and many do).
