If you are going to claim something, then at least make sure are correct first:

Alliteration is the repeated occurrence of the same consonant sound at the beginning of several words in the same phrase. A well-known example is the Mother Goose tongue-twister, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers …".

Read the quote again, it says sound. Not spelling.

Now read what I said: "Actually, alliteration has to do with sounding alike, not being spelled with the same beginning consonant."

While alliteration can be employed with words that have the same beginning letter (such as Crazy Coffee), they do not have to have the same beginning letter (such as Crazy Kim), nor do all words that share beginning letters have alliteration (such as Crazy Central).

She misspelled words with a K and claimed it was alliteration, and while it was, sound-wise, that still doesn't explain her misspellings.

I did read what you wrote, but I interpreted incorrectly. Sorry.
