Time for a spelling bee! Let’s see how well you do. If you realize you actually misspell all the 20 English words below, don’t sweat it too much, you are in good company. Ernest Hemingway, Winston Churchill, Jane Austen and John Keats were all notoriously terrible spellers! 1. Wrong: Embarass Correct: Embarrass 2. Wrong: Writting Correct: Writing 3. Wrong: Accomodate Correct: Accommodate 4. Wrong: Seperate Correct: Separate 5. Wrong: Alot Correct: A lot 6. Wrong: Truely Correct: Truly 7. Wrong: Tommorow/ Tommorrow Correct: Tomorrow 8. Wrong: Definately Correct: Definitely 9. Wrong: Mispell Correct: Misspell 10. Wrong: Alright(this may be allowed) Correct: All right 11. Wrong: Maintainance Correct: Maintenance 12. Wrong: Recieve Correct: Receive 13. Wrong: Occassion/ Occassion/ Correct: Occasion 14. Wrong: Occurence Correct: Occurrence 15. Wrong: Momento Correct: Memento 16. Wrong: Priviledge Correct: Privilege 17. Wrong: Miniscule Correct: minuscule 18. Wrong: Neccessary Correct: Necessary 19. Wrong: Pronounciation Correct: Pronunciation 20. Wrong: Wierd Correct: Weird. The good thing about the smart phones we have now is that they all come with dictionaries pre- installed, if you are not sure of a spelling, simply type it out on your phone and let it correct it for you! And please, don’t get too attached to chating abbreviations because you may unconsciously use them when writing an examination or formal write-up.
