I wish my spammer would learn how to spell.

Or at least use spell check. WTF!?!?!

It's extra annoying to see all those mangled words in the subject.

They would misspell keywords like product names not proper nouns and standard verbs though.

It gives points for "randomness" - most new filtes have learned to identify it, but not all ISP use updated engines

Face it, you jumped the gun without asking what words were misspelled because
you wanted to be funny.

Everybody knows they misspell "cialis", "prozac" etc... to beat the filters.

no, I'm sorry if you don't believe it, but that is not my problem. You asked and I answered

Same goes for Images included in the email. The color of the test in the images is of relevance as well

it is done sometimes as ebus mentioned for randomness

i.e.

if spammer send 500000 emails to hotmail using "there was probably an easier way to get viagla now there is" as subject line it wont be nearly as random as if you used a typo tool to randomly typo 1 or 2 words, you could have thousand and thousand of unqiue subject lines.
