What is the ruling on writing "Insha'Allah" (God willing) as "Inshaa Allah" (God creates), taking into consideration that "Inshaa" means creation and "Shaa" means will?

We thought that the reason many people write (إنشاء الله) in this way is a writing error, and not that they intended to mean that we created God — exalted be He above that. This is only one linguistic possibility, as it could be from the category of adding the verbal noun to its doer, meaning that the creation (إنشاء) is attributed to the Creator in the sense that He is its doer. However, we believe that the writer intended (إن شاء الله) and made a writing error.
