I'm sure there is a clever internet name for it, but in the absence of that information, let's call it Chilly's Postulate:

"An online post pointing out a spelling error will inevitably contain a spelling error."

I like it. Even better that the name will inevitably be misspelled.

    Chilly's Postulate  
    Chillys Postulate  
    Chillys' Postulate  
    Chillies Postulate  
    Chillie's Postulate

To be fair though, mine was an actual typo. I don't correct people when they make typos, that's just rude. I correct only with the goal to educate. Irregardless is wrong, even if it will eventually be made correct by mass acceptance by americans.

Sounds like an offshoot of Murphy's Law.
