lol good catch!
It's actually intentional.
I googled for the correct spelling, but also remembered seeing the other spelling method several places. It's technically incorrect, but can sometimes be seen used in some phrases, like "she's got moxy!". It's almost sort of a stylization or a written slang version of the word. I liked how it looked in writing better, even though it's not the correct spelling. I decided I could excuse it by how it refers to part of the game system that isn't exactly 1:1 with what it means in "the real world", so to speak.
Long story short: I liked the incorrect spelling better aesthetically and it's functionally a game component that's more inspired by what the word means than it's the same thing.
