Find the most prolific misspelling

“copywrite”–90,900
“nevermind”–273,000

Darn it, all the good ones are taken.

Of course, some websites celebrate the typos

Here in Portland, OR, there’s a store that sells really cool lights and household fixtures, etc. They’re called Rejuvenation House Parts.

They’ve registered both www.rejuvenation.com and www.rejuvination.com

That’s not unusual - a lot of website owners do this. But in Rejuvenation’s case, they have a little fun with the incorrect address…

As for the game - maintainance = 83,800; seperation = 72,200; retreive = 59,000; maintanance = 20,200; imediately = 16,800

And to Horseflesh - “licence” is a common UK spelling.

I searched for “the” as a gross misspelling of “word.” As you can imagine, I got a great many hits.

No, a valid name for ‘warez’ would be illegally copied & distributed software. Just ask the people arrested in Operation Buccaneer.

Thanks TVGuy. I kinda thought so but www.m-w.com didn’t even list it as a British variant, although they do for armour/honour/colour/apologise.

That would be a definition for the word ‘warez’.

I’d put money on most of those hits being related to the Nirvana album, not a misspelling per se. Sorry.

“existance”–227,000
“relevence”–11,600 (one of them was on the “Relevence of Education,” though)
“relevent”–101,000

But, of the top 10, one is an abbreviation and 2 are Hebrew. Also, one is on spelling errors.

So do we have a definative winner ?
