manipulre

Manipulre is a nonstandard spelling that appears in English texts as a misspelling of manipulate or manipulation. It is not widely recognized as a separate word and typically functions as a typographical error rather than a distinct term.

Usage and origins: The form is most often found in informal writing, quick messages, or drafts that escape final proofreading. A common pattern is the replacement of the final “-ate” in “manipulate” with “-re,” producing “manipulre.” It can also result from autocorrect, keyboard slips, or unfamiliarity with the correct spelling.

Impact and correction: For formal writing, the correct spelling should be used. Editors and educators usually treat manipulre as an error to be corrected to manipulate (verb) or, when used as a noun, to manipulation.
