15 Most Commonly Misspelled Words

Easy Mistakes: Commonly Misspelled Words
The English language offers plenty of everyday terms that can trip up even the best spellers. How hard could this quiz be with just two choices for each word? You may be surprised!
I can't spell well at all. I only got 8 right because I guessed well.
Nice work, but a little more practice wouldn't hurt. You got 8/15 correct.
Another interesting site: http://www.uww.edu/npa/cities/allrank.html America's most literate cities. Mine came in at 64....I wonder if I move....if I will get smarter! LOL!
