30 Commonly Mispelled/Mispelt Words You Must Have Spelt Wrong by 0ubenji(m): 12:22pm On Aug 11, 2016 |
These are very common words we tend to 'mispell' in our use of the Lingua Franca in speaking and writing. I'm a regular victim of some of these words too, just like y'all. God knows what would have become of our media convos, were it not for the regular saving grace we enjoy in the Autocorrect feature embedded in our various smartphones. Atimes, we'd just look at some of these words and know there's something wrong, but we'd have to keep looking and re-spell the words severally to be able to figure out the error. Yea rite! I fink I can hear someone say "who get time?"... Atleast, not when u got some important message to pass across asap. If you'll agree with me; autocorrect feature can't and will not save u on all media/electronic platforms, since we're unconsciously abating the ink and paper age. So, let's examine a few of a plethora of these commonly 'mispelled/mispelt' words. Note: the correct spelling of the following words are being put in Upper-case form. -------------------- 1. Withold - WITHHOLD 2. Drunkeness - DRUNKENNESS 3. Seperate - SEPARATE 4. Excercise - EXERCISE 5. Maintainance - MAINTENANCE 6. Sustainance - SUSTENANCE 7. Aquire - ACQUIRE 8. Arguement - ARGUMENT 9. Priviledge - PRIVILEGE 10. Embarassment - EMBARRASSMENT 11. Harrassment - HARASSMENT 12. Ocassion - OCCASSION 13. Liason - LIAISON 14. Cemetry - CEMETERY 15. Strenght - STRENGTH 16. Personel - PERSONNEL 17. Questionaire - QUESTIONNAIRE 18. Reccommend - RECOMMEND 19. Amature - AMATEUR 20. Begining - BEGINNING 21. Tommorrow - TOMORROW 22. Flourescent - FLUORESCENT 23. Hygene - HYGIENE 24. Libary - LIBRARY 25. Noticable - NOTICEABLE 26. Rythm - RHYTHM 27. Underate - UNDERRATE 28. Hinderance. - HINDRANCE 29. Pronounciation - PRONUNCIATION 30. Lolz...I guess most of us didn't notice that throughout this thread, I spelt "Mispelt/Mispelled" wrong. NOTE: "Misspelt/Misspelled" is the correct one. 3 Likes |
