Most commonly misspelled word

This isn't something I do wrong, because I'm a Grammar Nazi with too much pride, but it's a mistake a lot of other people make.

Would've = would have, not would of.
Could've = could have, not could of.
Should've = should have, not should of.

Defintely would have to be my one.

Other than that, my grammar is mostly immaculate.

Many, many words. I'm portuguese so when compared to most of you my spelling is really bad.

And you also misspelled "seriously", and "thanks", and your lack of grammar is appalling.

Words like "incessant" and "inherent", I always mix up the last vowels. And double letters, too, I think I've made about fifteen variations of "necessary".

well sorry it doesn't meet up to your standards but i'm lazy, what can i say

another word i commonly misspell is genius which i spell as genious, genous, & geneous

Immediately and definitely I always mispell. But then I just go: "I before E except after C." ^^

I tend to mispell a lot.

Atrocious is one. x_x

i misspell everything all the time so yeah

Stop being a smart *** k.

:K

The general rule is I before E except after C.

I never said deity was part of that rule. Just because the 'e' is before the 'i' doesn't mean it has ta follow the rule.

haha english is confusiing XD

I mess up on pieces occasionally... Peices is what comes out. I don't make many mistakes, as you can see.

English is a dumb language.

I elect we all learn Dani.

Let's start with randomocity. :3

Lets not.

English is apparently very confusing to people learning it as a second language. It may be because of our myriad of rules that more often than not apply to less than half our words and grammar. The greater portion of our words are exceptions to said rules.

EDIT: Not to mention, most of our words are taken from other languages.

lol, it's still a funn rule.

@KoH: It's cuz we Americans can't think for ourselves and out Gov. is full of old farts that need to ejected and replaced with some better people who are young enough to think clearly.

Americans being unable to think in any capacity has nothing to do with the English language being confusing, because the English language was invented by the English and specifically designed to be baffling as hell to those who can't already speak it. Also, insulting the Government does not make you cool, or hip, or whatever effect you're shooting for with that post. Try to stay on topic.

oh major burn XD

^Yeah, and you're not adding anything to the topic either. How's that for a 'major burn'?

I was filling in a form this morning, and I kept spelling 'appropriate' wrong. Nothing to do with the P's, I just kept typing the letters the wrong way round. Not because I can't spell it, but because my typing is dodgy.

Always spelt because wrong.

Sometimes I spell again wrong...

Thats completely wrong XD

At least for us (portuguese) and the french. English is very, very easy, when compared to any of them. The rules are very simple, we just have to know the rare exceptions. In portuguese or french, just to give an example, we have about 30 verb tenses at least, while you guys only have a few. Plus we also have other personal nouns for each person, making it very confusing. If some of you study french you'll understand what I mean.

On topic, PR I've never seen a person misspelling so many words, haha

Who said I was shooting for something?

I sometimes misspell "remember" by spelling it "rememeber".
