LauraM Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks for sharing. That's a good, long list of words that are often misspelled. I also looked at the homepage of the Web site and I see it's got a lot to offer. There are many resources for learning the fine points of English grammar. I'm always on the lookout for helpful online resources like these and many other people here in the forum are as well. As for misspelling words, we have been having an ongoing discussion on this and people have been sharing words that they have had trouble spelling: http://linguaholic.com/english-language-general-discussion-thread/which-english-words-do-you-have-trouble-spelling/msg6975/#msg6975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcannon Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I think I misspelled Wednesday until I was 16 or so. :punk:I don't even recall what caused me to step back and realize that I had it incorrect!I also, apparently, misspell "misspell" -- seems like I am always missing an S. Also, vacuum. I tend to want to give it 2 c's instead of just 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbepp Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I almost always misspell embarrassed (Embarassed, embarrased, etc) and disappoint (dissappoint, etc)So thanks for that list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyDigitalpoint Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have tendency to misspell words that have double consonant as the "s" in "misspelling" and many times I add an extra consonant to words that doesn't need one or change the placement of the double consonant, particularly in occasion all the occasions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddrmario123 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have a tendency to misspell the word "separate." I usually write seperate, just because of the way it sounds. I, also, misspell words that usually need to double up the last letter when conjugating. For example, I'd put "eatting" instead of "eating."

Shannonbutler18 Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I don't misspell words often, though it bothers me when other people do! Things like "Your" instead of "You're" and "To" instead of "Too". I find myself constantly correcting my friends' writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
