It's not upmost

It's "utmost" NOT "upmost". Recently I've seen several threads where people have written "upmost". It's not even a word, it doesn't come up in predictive text, they can't have seen it written in a book or newspaper or article( they most likely don't read anything except what's on social media). Do they say the word like that?
Are they somehow confusing it with "uppermost", if so, it makes them look even more stupid. Even my ten year old granddaughter knows it's "utmost". Why use words when you don't know what they mean and have made them up, it just makes you appear so thick?

Also it's "set foot", not "step foot".
