The midwest is surprisingly into hentai, but still can't spell it.

Donald Trump got a lot of attention for his "covfefe" snafu, but he's not the only one with, uh, slippery fingers...

In the wake of Wednesday's typo heard 'round the world, Pornhub took a look at which terms were most commonly misspelled by their users when searching for videos, and the results are hilarious.

They broke it out state by state, and it turns out even something as basic as the word "porn" is tripping people up.

It's easy enough to see how some of these mixups happen, especially if people are busy using one hand for, shall we say, other things? But nevertheless it is interesting to see just how many different ways there are to misspell "lesbian" and "hentai." (Also, the midwest: unexpectedly into hentai.)

"Amateur" is another one that understandably confounds people, but "threesome" and "MILF"? Come on, people. Focus!

Interestingly, since the blockbuster debut of "covfefe," there have been 9,000 people who've searched for that term on Pornhub. It's puzzling to look for porn featuring something that's not even a word, but humans are nothing if not weird when it comes to their taste in adult videos.

Still, considering that fidget spinner porn is now a thing, it's probably only a matter of time before covfefe porn is, too. What a time to be alive.
