Would you dump a candidate who

had a typo in their email thank you?

Ugh.  I sent this recruiter a thank you email Friday morning after my phone screen was at 4pm on Thursday and upon looking at it I wrote "team" instead of "time" for "thank you for your time."  UGH, I really want this job!  It's the HR recruiter who is about 24 years old per LinkedIn.   She won't dump me, will she???

Probably not. 

Recruiters are paid by getting good candidates through the door. If she thinks you're a good candidate, she probably won't let something like an obvious typo get in the way. (I think it's different if you called her Sherry and her name was Mary, got the job position wrong, etc). 

FWIW, I've never emailed a thank you to a recruiter. Is this a thing I should be doing?

Thanks @K3am!  I'm thinking it's no biggie either, so I hope we're right.

Not sure what protocol is.  I send a thank you to anyone I speak with just to CYA myself!

After I interviewed for my first position out of college I sent a thank you to the wrong person.  Got the first name right, last name wrong (same department though, so at least I was close).  Thankfully I still got the job.

I agree that doesn't sound like a big deal.  I'd probably notice and laugh, but not hold it against you. But if you call me Amanda or Amy or Emily instead of Amelia, then I'll notice and bring it up in discussions. My name and photo is on the website and my name is spelled on the schedule we give, so there's little excuse, though it happens all the time.
