Spelling mistake

Do you do often?

What are common words you spelled incorrectly?

Do you correct other ?

Re: Spelling mistake

I sometimes have a couple of spelling errors here and there, which I usually catch at a second glance and correct it. However, what I find terribly annoying is the autocorrect on my phone. It is not always so correct! Sometimes you're typing and it suggests and inserts a word that is way off from the word your meant to write :D

I am generally good at spelling words correctly.
I correct people who are close to me when we are alone. Usually don't correct strangers or people I know would mind.
Sometimes when in an argument, I might correct someone's English or urdu to get back at them but it really depends on who the next person is.

Re: Spelling mistake


i totally agree...one girl got banned on one of forums ... she explained well but admins found her guilty of spoiling 'kids' on that forum. the auto-correct corrected a perfect abbreviation of the word 'SECond'...her sentence was: "i was just gone for a SEC(?)" ... OMG...lol

I used to misspell 'recieve' and 'explaination'.

Re: Spelling mistake

I have an iphone and the autocorrect sometimes irritates me. You know though, I’m not so sure “autocorrect” is the right term for what I’m referring to. What I’m referring to is the tendency it has to try to complete the word you’re typing, which sometimes completes or inserts the wrong word.
