Popular misspellings of Britney Spears when searching on Google
Some are just plain wacky.
What about the confusion between -ware/-wear? I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s seen publicly displayed signs mentioning “footware”, “swimware”, and so on.
Please, no editing.
That should be used in the next mod smiting. “Here, have a BANnana.”
But if you have something against ending a sentence in a preposition, well, that is an outdated rule up with which I will not put.

Me too, particularly since I spent YEARS (even though I’m a fairly decent speller), spelling it this way thanks to an old Secretary’s Handbook that had this as the CORRECT spelling in it’s list of “Commonly Misspelled words and the Correct Spellings” section!!! GEEEZ What a typo to make! Must have been a Monday when the proof reader okayed that one.

Antique silver collectors have started paying attention to the amount of “ware” present or absent when discussing 18th-century spoons and forks… you know, silverwear.
What about all the people who drive wrecklessly? So ludacrist.
I lived for a month in my teens in a government-run shelter home. The cupboards in the kitchen were all labelled in big letters, and one of them was labelled “BOWELS”.
Well, the citizens need very little governing.
Just saw this one in another forum.

Can’t do it now, I’ll never be able to. The world will have to live with it.
Somebody just mentioned having some dogs that are a bit skiddish.
Buy ‘em some freakin’ snow paws, then.
For the life of me, I cannot spell the word “recommend” (reccomend) correctly on the first pass. “Vacuum” (vaccuum) is also tough - I seem to have an affinity for non-existant double Cs.
I spelled recommend wrong in a GQ post, and knew it… after pressing submit.
(same way as you, doulble-c instead of double-m)
Worst one I’ve ever seen?
Wasn’t a typo, either. This is just the worst this person did, not the only.
The word: Business.
The spelling: bissnise
