Do you make a distinction between typos

Do you make a distinction between typos and misspellings, or is that just me? For example, “regualr” is a typo while “refridgerator” is a misspelling. The former is a mechanical error while the latter demonstrates a lack of specific knowledge. Both are signs of sloppy writing which might be why people don’t often distinguish the two.
