📝 Aitah because I poked fun of my friends misspelling?

I (12f) and my two friends - R and D - (R=12f + D=13f) and the other friends all have a group chat. Just recently, D had made a misspelling of the word 'Screams' (Screems). I thought it would be funny to say it outloud but I mispronounced it, so it ended up sounding like screms. It was hilarious to me, and so I sent voice notes to the group chat. Me and R were laughing at the way I pronounced it, but D didn't like it.

She started accusing me of making fun of her. She then started to say that I was 'bullying her' and accused me of making fun of her horribly. I wasn't; and she had never told me this before (I poked fun at her other misspellings. I'm an avid misspell-er, so it's all in good fun.) I told her that I wasn't making fun of her, but D kept on snapping at me.

Eventually, R joined in to protect me. She told D that it was all in good fun and - because I occasionally joke about R's and mines stutters together; it's like a little inside joke between us - brought up the countless of times I was making fun of her. D then said (and this is a direct quote from her) 'I don't fucking care if you make fun of other people, but if you do it to me then I will kick your head so many times that you will get a black eye'.

R got really mad at this and started to say that D should leave the group chat like she always does. In an attempt to calm things down, I tried to tell them to just take a few minutes away from each other. R had removed D from the group as soon as I had sent that text.

I feel guilty, but I have a feeling that you shouldn't threaten bodily harm/assault onto someone because of an misspelling.

So, aitah?
