Why people write NEWLETTER

Some letters are barely said, or not said at all, in everyday speech (the N in government, the P in pumpkin), so they drop out when the word is written as it sounds.

News + letter: keep the S of news.

In the web pages Google counted for its trillion-word corpus (Peter Norvig's word counts), NEWLETTER appears 2 times for every 1,000 NEWSLETTER, about once for every 500 correct uses.
