Tragic --> tragically.
Magic --> magically.
Music --> musically.
Basic --> basically.
Geographic --> geographically.
Geometric --> geometrically.
So… Public --> publicly. Oh, bullshit. It should be “publically.”

I guess the French will have to form a queue.
Anyway, “debt” would be “det” in any honest world; the fashion for trying to make English into Latin was stupid then and has not improved with age.
“Iron” should definitely be “iearn” or “iurn”.

Theater, center should be theatre and centre. Harbor, armor, labor, honor, clamor, color, demeanor, enamor, favor, favorite, humor, parlor, rigor, rumor, tumor, and vapor should be spelled harbour, armour, labour, honour, clamour, colour, demeanour, enamour, favour, favourite, humour, parlour, rigour, rumour, tumour, and vapour.
Spelled that way, those words scream “Look, the French invaded us over a thousand years ago and we’re still using their language!” At least Americans don’t carry that shame.
“February” should be spelled “Febuary.”
“Sacrilegious” should be spelled “Sacreligious”.
I agree about “comftorble.”
yacht --> yaht
alcohol --> alchohol

Don’t forget about Restauranteur
My grandmother, rest her soul, was an outstanding speech and dramatic arts teacher. She would have loved to read this aloud, as she often did – unfailingly – with tongue twisters the kids brought her. Try reading Petey the Snake to a class of snickering highschoolers without stumbling.
