Here are some English words which are commonly misspelled and/or mispronounced. Words that appear in red are considered incorrect.
mischievous: This words is pronounced with 3 syllables and does NOT rhyme with "devious", but is often heard with an extra "i" added, as in mischievious.
realtor: Another case of an extra syllable popping in, it is not pronounced realator.
nuptial: Pronounced using 2 syllables only, not 3 as in "nuptual". The -ual ending is prevalent in English, so it is only natural that this word is commonly mispronounced.
espresso: Is it made expressly for you? Or is it made at express speed? Nope, we are used to words starting with ex- so we also apply it here incorrectly. Its misuse is so common that even some dictionaries are starting to list expresso as an entry.

Common English misspellings and errors

Dear Linguistics Zone.
I have been reading your blog for something like two weeks. It is interesting and you have been doing a good blog.
But I must say you have a misconception about what linguistics is. You are writing a blog about the good usage English language. It is nice, but it is not linguistics. I am a freshman linguitics student at University of Campinas, in Brazil, (I don't have a blog, yet) and I can tell you linguistics is not grammar. It is a very deep scientific study of the language (not just a language, but also the phenomenon of language), concerning all its formal, structural, psychological and social aspects. It is a science just like chemistry, biology or physics.
There are many fields and scientific schools in Linguistics. You can have a sociolinguistic study analysing the diffences among the varieties of a language used by the different social classes somewhere. Psycholinguistics study the relationships between the language and the thought. Descriptive linguistics, study how to describe (and also describes) the languages spoken in the world. Other schools, like generative grammar, try to elaborate a logical grammar description to be applied to every single the language. Neurolinguists study how the language works inside the human brain. And, of course, historical linguistics study the changes of languages through the history (how Old English became English and how Latin became romance languages).
Linguists take an unpassionate scientific look over language. They don't utter opinions. While you say "should only be used colloquially and hopefully never become actual words", a linguist would just say: "they are more common in colloquial language. It is possible that they become, in the future, accepted in standard English and it doesn't depend whether I like it or not". By the way, "actual words" is not a good term. "Diff" and "refi" are actual words in a certain variety of English. They are not very used in Standard English, but no one can't say that they are "false" or "imaginary" words, can you? Not that you are not allowed to have an opinion. You can think these words are ugly, but you can't allow these opinions to interfere with your study. Whether ugly or beautiful, some people talk them and that's the reality a linguist have to describe.
If you think it can be interesting, you could take a look on a few books. Sociolinguistics, an introduction, by Peter Trudgill is a very pleasant and interesting introduction to sociolinguistics and linguistics itself. A tougher book but yet written in plain English is "A Course in General Linguistics", by Ferdinand de Saussure, considered a father of linguistics.
This is what I had to say about it. Keep working, but try to take a deeper look on it. Actual linguistics is a very interesting study of language and, as a science, there are many things to do. I assure you, it's much more interesting than teaching ortography.
Regards,
José San Martin
Thanks for the English lesson today!
OMG. I've been guilty of misspelling some of these.
This blog is really very useful and interesting.What about spelling,some of theese words may cause difficults but for educated person it's nothing difficult
People should proof their articles in MS Words to fix the misspelling, before publishing the article to the internet.
Beside, many online text editor in the internet already have built-in spelling checker, like Blogger's commenting engine.
So actually, the chance for making mistakes like this is slim. It only happen when people get careless.
I'll be honest that I'm not as good as others in English written or oral. That's why your blog is very helpful for me. Thanks!
One of the worst ones that is starting to appear in high school, and even college is 'know' vs. 'no'.
I shake my head every time I see know used in the place of no.
intresting, would not have thought about it that way myself.
Realtor gets me every time!

In order not to commit these kinds of mistake when your writing articles, use the check spelling and grammar of MS word or try to google it to really check if it's right or wrong. This is the only way that you can minimize these mistakes since these mistakes are usually caused by typing error. Anyway, thanks for sharing this!

I am from spain and i have a blog in english , i dont write correct , i write with alots of errors , i guess if people understand me what im tring to say , its okay
I will have to admit that the misspelled words that you pointed out, were used by me as well incorrectly most of the times. I personally think that using incorrect words in internet chat and mobile text messages has changed our habits and now we people are very less careful about such errors.
thanks for this, very helpful...

And don't forget not everyone uses US spelling. English spelling can be quite different to US spelling, but equally accurate.
Like many translators and other word people, I have a low tolerance for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in print.These are words in the English language that are difficult to spell and are frequently butchered. Examples include “jewelry”, “archaeologist”, and “etiquette”.
very useful information and thanks for sharing!

great post thanks..
s it made expressly for you? Or is it made at express speed? Nope, we are used to words starting with ex- so we also apply it here incorrectly.
I agree with this. I am also having hard time thinking of the real spelling of some words and it's hard to pronounce.

Well, we cannot deny it, English has lots of misspellings and there is nothing really that we can do about it. The language is growing.
Aw, I just can't make myself switch to saying espresso, the x keeps popping out every time!
And perhaps two other popularly misspelled words would be "leisure" and "neighbor"…
Thank you to share this important information !!!

Many of the most commonly misspelled words have combinations of double letters which can be confusing and disorientating. Some of these words include accommodate, a notorious misspelled word, along with embarrassment, unnecessary, guerrilla, occasion, and commitment.

The Comedy of Errors (engl. The Comedy of Errors) is a play by William Shakespeare, written 1592-1594. Presumably, this is the first comedy of the playwright. A Quartoausgabe does not exist. Thus, it appears to have been the first time in the Folio edition of 1623 to be published. The earliest documented performance of the comedy of errors took place on 28 December 1594 in Gray's Inn, a London lawyer school instead.
The plot of the comedy of errors follows closely on the comedy of ancient Roman authors Plautus Menaechmi. Shakespeare doubled compared to the original of Plautus the twin theme.
South Africa, in long form the Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of Africa. It is bordered to the north by Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and north-east with Mozambique and Swaziland. Lesotho is to share a landlocked state in South African territory. Its administrative capital is Pretoria, the legislative capital Cape Town and Bloemfontein the judicial capital.
South Africa has more than 50 million people (according to census estimates for 2010 [2]) divided into 79.4% of blacks, whites 9.2%, 8.8% of Métis and 2, 6% of Asians [3]. Nation phenotypes varied, South Africa and Africa is the country with the largest portion of people called "colored" white and Indian. South Africa is often called "nation rainbow sky", a concept coined by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to describe the diversity of the South African nation which has replaced the concept of plural society previously used in ideology séparationniste of apartheid (1948-1991).
South Africa is characterized by large mineral wealth (gold, diamonds, coal, etc..) That made it indispensable to the West during the Cold War and a large population of European descent. South Africa is the economic powerhouse of Africa. The economy of South Africa is indeed one of the more highly developed and benefits from modern infrastructure throughout the country.
The name "Republic of South Africa" took the place of the Union of South Africa May 31, 1961 when the country ceased to be a British dominion.

Very good post with informative information. I really appreciate the fact that you approach these topics from a stand point of knowledge and information. This is the first time, I visited at your site and became your fan. You are bookmarked. Please keep on posting.
Thank you so much for the post, i have started reading that and just after couple of min, i found it very interesting. Just want to say thanks...
The Fatal Conceit (in the English original The Fatal Conceit: The Errors of Socialism) is the latest book by economist Friedrich Hayek, which ventures into the field of sociology trying to propose an explanation of the development of society, law and the economy. Hayek discusses how constructivist attempts to promote values, ideals and prices (from "above") not take into account the historical processes of development, such as dispersed knowledge and spontaneous order, in what he calls a "fatal conceit " of the central planning where planners arrogantly believe that the information you have is all existing information, with fatal results for companies.
I'm agree with that. Because any language is had to learn and pronounce as 'native' speakers. This is true.
Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.
I must admit that this is one great insight. It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in creating something special and tailored to their needs.

The author has posted some nice examples of common English misspellings. I am also guilty of more than once spelling the word "mischievousness" in the wrong way. I mostly get confused with the position of i and e.
Thanks for sharing
Nice one
Very informative
i find your blog very interesting lots of good post and readable articles. Keep it up i will surely bookmark your site and visit it for future readings!
Great post, mate ! Keep up the good work.
I have a low tolerance for spelling, grammar and punctuation errors in print. Hence, I agree with your comments here.
Most of these words are very general in daily use, but many of us keep misspell them until its brought to our attention by someone.
I also screw up mostly with the words "mischievous" and "nuptial". You made a good selection of words that usually get misspelled by most people.
In business communication, one should always spell checker type of tools to make sure they are misspelling some crucial words as they reflect poorly on a person's grasp of vocab.
I admit. Misspelling is one way for you to know what is wrong in order for you to do what is right. Makes perfect sense right? I feel a little discomforted about it, will just play one of the Best Flight Simulator on PC later instead

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed.
I am somewhat in agreement. There are some bits that are right and some that are wrong, but that my opinion, anyway it is still great stuff so I guess no real complaints from me

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about information and love learning more on this. If possible, as you gain expertise, It is extremely helpful for me. would you mind updating your blog with more information
Most people keep misspelling these words in their daily lives and don't realize that they are not spelling the words correctly until they are pointed out.
The 'expresso' one is hilarious! I've actually heard people say that one.
I have seen a lot of instances where people goof up with the word espresso and misspell it as "expresso", one among was my own colleague till I corrected him.
I am usually so bad at spelling that the spell checker doesn't catch the word because I have spelled another word.
From, my experience, I have seen that not only no-English speaking people have these difficulty, but also those from English speaking nations do.
Using any spell check software for sending important letters and documentation etc saves us the embarrassment.
oaky yeah. thanks for reminding me those errors that I had.
well, I really agree with Jose and i guess he has shown a lot for the linguistics zone.
yeah you got it right jose and your comment is just like a normal post.
Nice blog ! I have seen such misspellings are very common especially with regards to the words that you posted here
This is a great article. I am pretty much impressed with your good work.You put really very helpful information. Keep it up.
I found your blog interesting since I am beginner and your blog points out some interesting issues with English language.
Its good to learn something new everyday from your blogs, its very interesting.
Very good blog post I love your site carry on the good articles
I haven't any word to appreciate this post. Nice post.
Excellent blog. One thing I find myself increasingly irritated at nowadays is the practice of posting comments on website forums in all lowercase letters. This is a common practice in text messaging and I find that it is spilling over into all aspects of posting. Abbreviations that are used in text messaging are also being used in all types of posts. I fear English teachers are going to have a difficult time overcoming some of these bad habits that are becoming so common.
I came across your blogs while surfing for some information. Trust me it was a marvelous read.
I agree with you that though these are very general words that is common in everyday usage, but many people tend to overlook these silly mistakes.
well i don't think so English Misspellings can be considered in a Particular Zone..overall your Blog is pretty nice..
ohh i m such a great fan of The Linguistics Zone, & about this post i wanna say that yeah its true & you have very well explained the common english Misspellings..
The worst spellings that really annoy me are the basics of their and there and wear, were and where and also to, too and two.
Hi,
You are right in this blog that you wrote. It's so easy to get carried away with the English language. And to get lazy to really pronounce the words the right way.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

I feel strongly about information and love learning more on this. If possible, as you gain expertise, It is extremely helpful for me.
There are many words like that, but the ones you pointed out are the more common ones.
Definitely we learn also how to pronounce things well. Thanks a lot for the fine tips.
Chances for making mistakes like this are slim. It only happen when people get careless.
Even English speaking background people make such mistakes, what's the big deal ?
You touched a topic that's very general but mostly overlooked.
The chance for making mistakes like this is slim. It only happen when people get careless.
Before anybody publishes an article they should proof read with MS and use the built-in spell checker. There really is no excuse for having poor spelling in an article with all of these facilities at our disposal.

Very good points. English has a lot of misspellings and pronunciations. Thank you for the post!
I will admit...I am a horrible speller. My 9 year old son on the other hand can pronounce and spell anything. I believe it is because of his good memory. He remembers all of the "rules" in English grammar. Thank you for your post!

The English language has a lot of grammar rules. There is a lot of slang in English as well which can add to the grammatical mistakes. Thank you for your good points!
I always got wrong with that. thanks for the good insight here.
Well I must admit I've often made these mistakes when spelling these particular words, and I am an educated person, born in the United States. Even though I've made errors in my spelling, I always double check them to make sure I don't appear as someone who doesn't care.

The power of letters and words and the difference they make! One misplaced letter can really be a big deal. And with our fast-paced life, often our hands work faster than our minds!

Al last someone who takes spelling seriously, I can't stand it when people misuse words.
It's been a long time since I had an english lesson. I believe I will be back for more.
Realator. Really? As useful as Word is with spelling mistakes it's useless with grammatical errors. And while we're on that topic who actually determines what's correct and incorrect when it comes to grammar anyway? There are so many dialects who is to say who is correct? Isn't the point of communication to be understood?

I loved what youve done here. The design is elegant, your stuff classy. Yet, youve got an edginess to what youre offering here.
You can think these words are ugly, but you can't allow these opinions to interfere with your study.

valuable posting
This is really interesting. There is a huge difference between pronouncing incorrectly and spelling incorrectly. Words should be spelled correctly no matter what but it often depends on where you are from as to how your pronounce them, so different pronunciations are not necessarily incorrect.

This blog is really very useful and interesting.What about spelling,some of these words may cause difficult but for educated person it's nothing difficult..people should proof their articles in MS Words to fix the misspelling, before publishing the article to the internet.. web design company

I'm a child of the 60s and we were taught phonics. One of the best rules I remember from my childhood English class is, "i before e except after c, or when sounded like a, as in neighbor or weigh". Keep up the good work!!!
