Someone I work with recently wrote on a shared work document “mute point” when she meant “moot point”

This one has been in the Eggcorn Database for years, here.
I recommend doing this whenever considering posting here: Go to the second search field on the Eggcorn Database page, the one marked “Google Searchâ€, and see if your proposed eggcorn (or other treat) has already been discussed. If so, you’ll probably want to add to an existing relevant thread rather than proliferating new threads for the same eggcorn.
You and I can’t add material to the Database; that privilege is for those closer to the angels than us. That’s why we have this Forum. A previous discussion of mute for moot is here
