  • 100 most popular misspelled words in English

    Here's the list:

    YourDictionary helps you find definitions, meanings, etymologies, related words, and more.



    I'm surprised at some of the words that are listed there, as they seem so... easy!

    Examples: ignorance, library, until, weather, column

    I'm surprised that "hypocrisy" didn't make the list. Evidently the list was not gleaned from internet forums.

            It's very ironic that "misspell" is on the list.

            I correctly spelled "vacuum" the other day and was very proud of myself.

            Way back when I was in school, I once spelled "weather" x-e-q-w-f-f-y-u. The teacher said, "That's the worst spell of weather we've had around here for a long time!" (Old jokes are always the best. )

                        Without looking at the list yet, the most misspelled words must include "loose/lose".

                        Edit: It's not there! Good lord, that's not a good list. I also noticed ridiculous is missing. (Often spelled rediculous by the uninformed.)
                        I no longer use this account.

                          To be a "most misspelt word" it has to be a wourd that is used frequently I would azzume.

                            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
