Commonly Misspelled Words That Start With The Letter ‘a’ by TheReadyWriters: 5:08pm On Apr 14, 2016
Acceptable – Several words made the list because of the suffix pronounced -êbl but sometimes spelled -ible, sometimes -able. Just remember to accept any table offered to you and you will spell this word OK.
• Accidentally - It is no accident that the test for adverbs on -ly is whether they come from an adjective on -al ("accidental" in this case). If so, the -al has to be in the spelling.
• Accommodate - Remember, this word is large enough to accommodate both a double "c" AND a double "m."
• Acquire- Try to acquire the knowledge that this word and the next began with the prefix ad- but the [d] converts to [c] before [q].
• A lot - Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time to this problem.
• Amateur - Amateurs need not be mature: this word ends with the French suffix -eur (the equivalent of English -er).
• Apparent - A parent need not be apparent but "apparent" must pay the rent, so remember this word always has the rent.
• Argument— Let’s not argue about the loss of this verb's silent [e] before the suffix -ment.
• Atheist—Remember that this word comprises the prefix a- "not" + the "god" (also in the-ology) + -ist "one who believes."
