The word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>definitely<\/strong> <\/span>does NOT have an \u201cA.\u201d Some people even write \u201cdefiantly\u201d which is a completely different word. But it&#8217;s definitely, not <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>definately<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>2. And the other mistake is <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>your<\/strong><\/span>, y-o-u-r. In the title of the video it should be <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>you\u2019re<\/strong><\/span>, which is short for \u201cyou are.\u201d The version spelled y-o-u-r is for possession &#8211; your house, your dog, your backpack. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/difference-between-your-and-youre\/\">Learn more about your vs. you&#8217;re.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"alert\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/free-pdf-100-commonly-misspelled-words\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/spelling-wrong.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/spelling-wrong.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/spelling-wrong-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/spelling-wrong-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/spelling-wrong-211x150.png 211w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"elementor-button large green rounded\" href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/free-pdf-100-commonly-misspelled-words\/\"><strong>Download lesson PDF<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>3. 4. Our next word that many people misspell is <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>knowledge<\/strong> <\/span>(not <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>knowlege<\/strong><\/span>). But when it comes to the word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>privilege<\/strong><\/span>, that one does end in e-g-e (not\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>priviledge<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>5. Watch out for the word <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">weird<\/span> <\/strong>(not <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>wierd<\/strong><\/span>). \u201cWeird\u201d is an exception to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/i-before-e-except-after-c-rule-and-exceptions\/\">\u201ci before e except after c\u201d<\/a> guideline for spelling.<\/p>\n<p>6. 7. The adjective <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>true<\/strong> <\/span>is spelled t-r-u-e, but the adverb <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>truly<\/strong> <\/span>does not have an e (not <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">truely<\/span>)<\/strong>. It\u2019s similar to how the number <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>four<\/strong> <\/span>is spelled f-o-u-r, but the number <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>forty<\/strong> <\/span>does NOT have a \u201cu,\u201d it\u2019s not <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">fourty<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>8. Another common spelling mistake is forgetting the \u201cn\u201d before the \u201cm\u201d in the word government. When we say it, we don\u2019t really pronounce the \u201cn\u201d &#8211; but make sure to write\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">government<\/span>,\u00a0<\/strong>not\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">goverment<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>9. 10. Speaking of forgetting letters, don\u2019t forget the first R in <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>surprise<\/strong> <\/span>or <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>February<\/strong><\/span>. Again, when we say them, you can\u2019t really hear it &#8211; they sound like <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>suprise<\/strong> <\/span>and <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Febuary<\/strong> <\/span>&#8211; but they\u2019re spelled s-u-r-p-r-i-s-e, and F-e-b-r-u-a-r-y.<\/p>\n<p>11. 12. Words with double letters can be challenging &#8211; don\u2019t put two \u201cm\u201ds in <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>tomorrow<\/strong><\/span>. The correct spelling is one M, two Rs. And don\u2019t put two \u201cC\u201ds in <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>recommend<\/strong><\/span>. The correct way is one \u201cc,\u201d and two \u201cm\u201ds.<\/p>\n<p>13. 14. A lot of people misspell <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>independent<\/strong> <\/span>and <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>independence<\/strong> <\/span>by putting an A in the ending (<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>independant \/ independance<\/strong><\/span>), but these should end in -ent and -ence.<\/p>\n<p>15. The word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>calendar<\/strong> <\/span>sounds like it should be spelled <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">calender<\/span><\/strong>, but the correct ending is -AR. Same with the word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>grammar<\/strong><\/span>; it ends with -AR, not <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">grammer<\/span><\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/grammer-or-grammar\/\">(Learn more words with -AR, -ER, and -OR endings)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>16. A lot spelled <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>alot<\/strong> <\/span>is ALWAYS wrong. It should be<span style=\"color: #008000;\"> <strong>a lot<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; two words. I study a lot. There is a verb spelled <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>allot<\/strong><\/span>, but that means something totally different.<\/p>\n<p>17. Our next mistake is spelling the word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>category<\/strong> <\/span>like <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">catagory<\/span><\/strong>. I know it sort of sounds like that when spoken, but it should be spelled c-a-t-e-g-o-r-y<\/p>\n<p>18. The next one actually got me a few times &#8211; the word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>minuscule<\/strong><\/span>, meaning very tiny, should start with m-i-n-u, not m-i-n-i. This is so confusing because we do use the word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>mini<\/strong> <\/span>to describe things that are small, and it sounds like &#8220;<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>miniscule<\/strong><\/span>&#8221; &#8211; but the correct spelling is minu.<\/p>\n<p>19. The word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>successful<\/strong> <\/span>can be misspelled a lot of different ways &#8211; <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>successfull, sucessful, succesful. <\/strong><\/span>The right way is s-u-c-c-e-s-s-f-u-l. Two Cs, two Ss, one L.<\/p>\n<p>20. And finally, there\u2019s the word <span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>finally<\/strong><\/span>. It needs to have two Ls, not just one (not\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>finaly<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>More commonly misspelled words in English:<\/h3>\n<table
