What are the most commonly misspelled words?

Answer 1

Any words that sound alike or words that are mispronounced are often misspelled, such as:

• are for our (a pronoun, possessive); are is a verb
• as for has (a verb); as is a connecting word in sentences, example, "As in The Bible..."
• patience for patients (sick person); patience is a trait
• there for their (a plural pronoun); there is a location
• where for wear (to have clothing on the body); where is a location
• then for than (example: rather than...); then is a "when" word, implies time, example: "Bob put on his socks, then put on his shoes."
• wen for when (when indicates time); wen is not a word

Other frequently misspelled words:

• accommodation
• familiar (ends differently than similar)
• familial (relating to one's family, a term often used in health care)
• diarrhea
• nausea
• similar (does not have the same ending as familiar)
• resonate

Frequently misspelled words are ones that either end in "-er" or "-ar", for example:

• rather is correct, rathar is incorrect

Contractions frequently misused:

• your when it should be you're (you are)
• there or their when it should be they're (they are)

Possessives that end in 's' or 'ss':

Wrongly using an apostrophe 's' to make a plural word:

• Singular is sinus; plural is sinuses
• Singular is penis; plural is penises

=== === Apart from the differences between British vs. American spelling in words such as honour/honor, flavour/flavor, neighbour/neighbor and savour/savor, see the Related Link to a website that lists 100 commonly misspelled words. accommodation

Answer 3

It could be "misspelt" (or misspelled). In communications, a prominent mistake is adding an apostrophe to "its" (only the contraction of "it is" uses an apostrophe). Or leaving out the apostrophe (text speak?) in the word "you're", the ubiquitous "your" (which of course is an adjective). (For more, see link)

Answer 4

(See the links below for lists of the most often misspelled words in the English language.)

Answer

The most commonly misspelled word(s) would have to be "its" and "it's," and other words with apostrophes missing in possessives and unnecessarily present in plurals.

There are many, including the word "misspell" and pairs such as "lose" and "loose."
