breathe vs. breath

Does anyone else find it really strange when people write things like "And I didn't even think to breath?"

Do you know what I mean? This has to be wrong. There is for sure an "e" at the end, at least for the action of taking a breath.

It seems like the verb to breathe should have the E.
And the noun should just be breath.
