it's the same reason why people confuse than and then. you can let this one slide since... well, it's kind of that property of english where something or someone does stuff; for example something that disrupts can either be called a disruptor or a disrupter. bolter would be something that bolts and it would be a fundamentally correct spelling. however, boltor is just a pretty nifty stylization of the word.

you see, a lot of people do not really emphasize the sound of vowels and therefore cannot differentiate between those sounds in a snap. it's easier to memorize something by sound, which is also why music sticks with us for a long, long time. so basically, if you can't associate a vowel by sound, you'd run over a lot of either interesting bastardizations of words or simply bad grammer.

well, language is rhetorical anyway. you'd know what they mean before you can even correct them, so what gives.
