What is the most commonly mis-spealt word?

TheShapeOfPunkToCome [Edit] [Delete] 36 replies 23:27, 10 April '06

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.

    • 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.

      • I was going to

        say that.

        I HATE it when people write definately. GAH.

        Thus: I hate you Ann. Yes.

        bamos @accidental | 10 Apr '06, 23:34 | X
        • but you just wrote it too

          therefore you must hate YOURSELF

          accidental @bamos | 10 Apr '06, 23:36 | X
          • I missed

            my inverted commas. Which would have made it allowable.

            But you're right, I hate myself. I suck :(

            bamos @accidental | 10 Apr '06, 23:37 | X
            • thats

              unecesary

  • Some people write...

    "surprise" as "suprise"

    icedgemuk | 10 Apr '06, 23:36 | X
    • Doesn't really

      count but people who write 'Could of...' instead of 'Could have...' annoy me.

      bamos @icedgemuk | 10 Apr '06, 23:36 | X
      • 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"

        Jesus_Quintana @bamos | 10 Apr '06, 23:38 | X
        • I hate it when people misuse apostrophes...

          they're so bloody easy.

          I_Are_Scientist @Jesus_Quintana | 10 Apr '06, 23:40 | X
        • 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.

          bamos @Jesus_Quintana | 10 Apr '06, 23:40 | X
      • 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.

        • 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.

          bamos @soup100 | 10 Apr '06, 23:45 | X
        • I do, I do...

          Do you write the Dictionary then?

          I_Are_Scientist @soup100 | 10 Apr '06, 23:45 | X
        • If you're so good,

          spell connoisseur.

          • bamos speaks truth

            'could of' should be punishable by a slow and lingering death...

            TheoGB @bamos | 11 Apr '06, 12:45 | X
          • 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.

            guntrip | 10 Apr '06, 23:57 | X
            • You two with your un-capitalised 'I' usage

              I dispise you!

              Or is that despise? ;-) heh heh!

              TheoGB @durkadurka | 11 Apr '06, 12:47 | X
            • Definately and Appologise

              Them two annoy me loads!

              james_delve | 11 Apr '06, 12:23 | X
              • 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.

                commandercool @james_delve | 11 Apr '06, 12:25 | X
              • parallel

                paralell is just WRONG!

                ladyoftheflowers @james_delve | 11 Apr '06, 12:25 | X
            • 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"

              robin_ac30 | 11 Apr '06, 12:42 | X
              • i always spell

                selling, speeling. and thats not a joke, i really do

                meths @robin_ac30 | 11 Apr '06, 12:45 | X
            • 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
