What is the most commonly mis-spealt word?
I'm going for weird, its amazing how many people spell it wierd.
There must be some sort of geek fact out there somewhere, maybe.

see what you did there.
You're
Yes I seem to have made up a word on a thread about spelling, I will now hang my head in shame and never return to this thread.
This doesn't "technically" count
but every time I try and write "Don Caballero" (i.e the band), I get it wrong.
Either:-
Don Cabbalero
Don Caballero
Don Cabalerro
....you get the point.
definately
I was going to
say that.
I HATE it when people write definately. GAH.
Thus: I hate you Ann. Yes.
but you just wrote it too
therefore you must hate YOURSELF
I missed
my inverted commas. Which would have made it allowable.
But you're right, I hate myself. I suck :(
thats
unecesary
STOP IT STOP IT
This thread == torture!
Some people write...
"surprise" as "suprise"
Doesn't really
count but people who write 'Could of...' instead of 'Could have...' annoy me.
When people write
"brought" instead of "bought" it makes me want to stab their eyes out with a rusty biro. Same with "your and you're"
I hate it when people misuse apostrophes...
they're so bloody easy.
Indeed
and messing up their/there. And putting apostrophes in 'its' when they aren't needed. I sometimes do this myself, and I have to lock myself in Hull for a month as punishment every time I do.
Knowledge
Is frequently misspelled. But it was quite funny when I did it to some guy back in school.
"Hey, how do you spell 'knowledge?"
"Uh- k-n-o-w-l-i-g-e?"
"Ha ha! Dumbass! How can you call yourself smart if you don't even know how to spell what makes you intelligent!"
I got him there.
SWISH...
Watcha do?
I pick on people's spelling for a living, as a sub editor. It's fun. My red pen and me have hours of fun every day.
I do, I do...
Do you write the Dictionary then?
If you're so good,
spell connoisseur.
bamos speaks truth
'could of' should be punishable by a slow and lingering death...
Occasion
I always spell it wrong and annoy myself.
I find Necessarily an absolute bitch too spell for some reason.
i notice
that a lot of people spell "pretentious" wrong. usually when levelling it as an insult against someone else.
You two with your un-capitalised 'I' usage
I dispise you!
Or is that despise? ;-) heh heh!
Definately and Appologise
Them two annoy me loads!
i spell for a living too
i just got in lots of trouble for writing "meat" instead of "meet".
thus: hangovers don't improve spelling.
parallel
paralell is just WRONG!
the one that really annoys me
is when people get "ridiculous" wrong. for some reason it is nearly always americans that do it... and they tend to put "rediculous"
i always spell
selling, speeling. and thats not a joke, i really do
Actually
Last night my mate Frankie had to give his address as his name @ graffiti.com which I consider a really cruel URL, since graffiti is actually hard to spell.
It would be as bad as necessary.com
