I thought this was presented in a funny way, and also quite useful for anyone learning
English. These are definitely* words that I have to think twice about when using and English is my native language. 10 Words you need to stop misspelling Edited by Grosse Affe on 17 January 2010 at 2:51am 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm a terrible, terrible speller in English. I use Firefox for the primary reason that it spell checks everything you write, by underlining in red if it's wrong. (Plus Firefox is faster.) I don't have trouble with words that are similar (two/too/to, they're/their), just random words like doctor. (I have tried to write docter many times.) And definitely! I want it to be definitely.
But apparently, that would make me an a-hole. :D That page is hilarious. I have a much easier time spelling in French. I think it's because the language is much more regular than English. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Halie I completely agree! I've always spelled "Weird" wrong :( I wonder how many dolphins I killed... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Whenever I have to spell an ei/ei word, I still have to silently sing Snoopy's song* from Charlie Brown's Spelling Bee special. (Some may not know this references so you may have to google it.) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Unfortunately, I'm guilty of spelling definitely wrong. On the upside I already knew I was an a-hole.
One that wasn't mentioned that I see constantly is when people write things like 'I hate to waist time'. It's a personal favourite. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Is that, "I before E, except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbor or weigh"? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, but I actually hear Snoopy playing his mouth harp as Charlie Brown sings in my head. I before E on Youtube Edited by Grosse Affe on 18 January 2010 at 5:29am 1 person has voted this message useful |
