down our picks for the top 10 commonly
misspelled words come celebrate the
millennium with new mania new for this
list we’re taking a look at everyday
English words that people regularly fail
to spell correctly see Oh are are you
going to the mall later that’s what a
magical I am not going to the mall we’ve
excluded words that merely get misused
such as it’s versus it’s this versus
then or your versus your oh and by the
way why are you apostrophe re means you
are
why don’t you are means your number 10
embarrass fit though embarrassing well
this is embarrassing apparently many
full grown adults can’t spell this
elementary school level word you
embarrassed me barest me in front of
well the first half of the word is
simple enough to spell people often
forget whether embarrassed requires one
or two R’s it’s too by the way
I was proving to be an embarrassment
very good back to the 3 R’s two hours
come October as if that’s not already
complicated enough the multiple s is
that cap the word off constantly trip us
up imagine if somebody misspelled this
word at a spelling bee can you please
give us the definition of irony
how embarrassing how embarrassing
number 9 independence today we celebrate
our Independence
how can we fight for our independence
when we don’t even know how to spell our
independence for the most part
independence is a fairly simple word to
sound out that is until we get to the
final four letters but I don’t need
anybody I’m I’m independent yeah me too
I’m what have we said independent is it
ence or ance you’ll find throughout this
list that E and a frequently get mixed
up because of this we like to think of
these two vowels as mortal enemies that
are at constant war with each other
independent i and dep nd ent gawrsh
Lexie’s you’re studying hard only one
can come out alive however and claim
their independence Erb dense is still a
declaration independence number eight
supposedly well what if I never find
somebody or even worse what if I already
found her but I dumped her because she
pronounces it supposedly is it
pronounced supposedly or supposedly
the lovable but dim Joey Tribbiani from
friends isn’t the only person who gets
stumped by this one supposedly since
many people also can’t even properly say
this word out loud it shouldn’t come as
a massive surprise that they can’t spell
it either um and he he apparently said
the word supposably
supposedly okay not supposedly but
supposedly once again E and a caused
mass confusion the double P has also
been known to throw would-be wordsmiths
for a loop it supposedly seems like a
simple word to grasp but it’s actually
one of the trickier ones in the English
language did they go to the zoo
supposably number seven unnecessary hey
leave the mothers out of this all right
it’s not necessary necessary is tricky
enough but if you dare to slap a un in
front of it then you’re on an adventure
that spellcheck refuses to take pardon
to be fair figuring out which letters go
into making this word can be easy on a
good day the hard part is remembering
how many times we need to use each of
these letters wait a second
this is way too many letters man are you
sure no matter how many times we look it
up we can never seem to recall how many
ends C’s s’s these days and ours are in
unnecessary all we know for sure is that
it begins with a solitary U and ends
with a why words like this demonstrate
the dictionaries are an undeniable
necessity Your Honor I would like to
submit this dictionary into evidence as
Exhibit A we’ve got your first piece of
evidence and only Your Honor the defense
rests prosecution the prosecution rests
number six weird
it was weird weird weird weird weird
weird WI e rd weird that’s not how you
spell weird
come on Lily nobody likes it ed we’ve
all heard the phrase I before E except
after C I before E except after C Lisi I
before E except after H no so why the
hell does e come before I in weird why
is this an exception to the rule of
thumb
there’s no reason other than to baffle
all of us our language is totally
ridiculous it’s bizarre it’s crazy it’s
strange it’s well odd wait this isn’t
weird why did no magazine called weird
is there this is wired
it’s about computers and technology
actually given the definition of weird
perhaps it makes sense that the way it’s
spelled makes no sense if that makes any
sense
weird
Cody Kathy yeah now we’re just giving
ourselves a headache it makes me feel
weird that’s jealousy hon I’m not
jealous I’m weird woof man number five
disappointed okay okay disappointed
don’t be disappointed if you can’t spell
this word neither can we
as with numerous other words on this
list it’s the use of double letters in
disappointed that leaves us scratching
our heads
the first major hurdle occurs once you
arrive at s does it require an
additional s or does this s fly solo for
the record it’s the latter while s
stands alone here P requires a
counterpart we’re not entirely sure why
filler maybe we don’t know but alas so
let it be written so let it be done I
agree with your mother you are a
disappointment to her oh ma at number
four caribbean races caribbean cruises
all cruise ships float exclusively in
international waters as much as we love
Jack Sparrow we’ll never remember
exactly how to spell Caribbean a
tremendous intuitive sense of the female
creature informs me that you are trouble
a majority of the pirate population
probably couldn’t spell this scurvy word
then again some pirates can’t even read
you know you can’t read it’s the Bible
you get credit for trying there are so
many different ways to screw this word
up for example you could accidentally
use two R’s instead of one or use one B
instead of two oh and sometimes we even
foolishly substitute the I for another a
let’s just be grateful that failing a
spelling test doesn’t entail
walking the plank we’ve discovered trace
elements of a rare vegetable found only
on one island here in the Caribbean
whoopty-doo what does it all mean basil
number three
definitely wait you work here yes do you
know how so definitely vowels can be
incredibly easy to jumble up if we had
to single out one word that encompasses
all the frustration of vowel usage it
would definitely be definitely no that’s
definitely it
I’ll pre rup around every turn this word
has us muddling our ease and eyes it’s
also not uncommon to mistakenly insert
an A in their dad death then you’re
moving back into the F position
definitely perhaps the reason why
definitely is so difficult to spell is
because it’s so similar to other words
such as defiantly and definitively you
may think spelling such a word is
child’s play but nothing is definite
here I’m not a reporter
um we don’t know how to spell definitely
do you number two
congratulations congratulations
congratulations congratulations
congratulations is a word everybody
loves to hear except when you’re asked
to spell it congratulations Aquila
there’s really only one letter in this
word that generally raises confusion but
that one measly letter almost always
makes people fumble the world is excited
people are sending their congratulations
yeah would you like to congratulate
North Korea
congratulations North Korea finally I
mean it’s about time although one half
of your brain will tell you that it’s
spelled Co ng R Atul a tion s the other
half tells you that it’s spelled Co ng
ra d UL a tion s we have no idea why
it’s so tempting to replace that T with
a D there’s just something about it that
feels so right and yet it’s so wrong the
great
before we misspell our top pick here are
some honorable mentions refrigerator I’m
a CDI to a few a few watts refrigerator
energy dear sir are you uh I asked I
can’t let you take that bolt to Olympus
I’m the lightning thief you hid the bolt
in my shield why usually the day we talk
about sexual harassment is the day that
everyone harasses me as a joke she’s
coming in today and maybe just don’t
joke around about that stuff in front of
her
great point you um fact basic rule of
thumb let’s just act every day like
pants moms come tomorrow I love ya
tomorrow you’re only a day away follow
it learn what you can along the way when
you find the kernel infiltrate his team
by whatever means available and
terminate the Colonel’s command number
one misspelled stupid wait
spell what a twist huh we bet you’re
kicking yourselves for not seeing this
one coming it’s only appropriate that
the easiest word to misspell would be
misspelled HD bitter something promises
to be is as stiff it goes whether you
incorrectly use just 1s multiple peas or
a solitary L you wouldn’t believe how
many people slip up while spelling this
word he uses other misspelling the words
on the purpose when you just spelled the
court this is especially interesting
considering that most people know how to
spell spelled you wouldn’t think that
adding that M is to the beginning would
be so difficult for us nevertheless
misspelled continues to make grown-ups
everywhere feel dumber than a
kindergartner
know keeps misspelling words do you
agree with our list no no no no I can’t
swear that’s what word do you always
misspell a a our dvarka a a our dvarka
