How? Только != Тока
Sometimes, it's deliberate; the writer is going for the effect of transcribing colloquial speech - like in English, you might write "innit" instead of "isn't it" to render a casual spoken conversation.
And sometimes, it's a sign of a illiteracy - like in English, when people write "should of" instead of "should have" because it sounds the same and they don't know any better.
EDIT: Not being a Russian speaker, I completely misunderstood this comment -- I apologize for my blithe ignorance.
Not to mention the iron hydroxide in rust.
