Top 6 Misspelled Words On The Internet

Posted Dec 26, 2007 | by Rich Menga  

Some people have "Top 5" lists. Pshaw, I say. I have a Top 6! We’ll start at #6.

6. Tomarrow

Wrong. The proper spelling is tomorrow.

5. Rediculous

Wrong. The proper spelling is ridiculous.

4. Definately

Wrong. The proper spelling is definitely. As a matter of fact there is a web site dedicated to the proper spelling of this word.

3. Seperate

Wrong. The proper spelling is separate. Haven’t you ever heard "There is a rat in separate?"

2. Wierd

Wrong. The proper spelling is weird. The improper spelling would literally pronounce as a really bad version "wired".

1. Cemetary

Wrong. The proper spelling is cemetery. There never has been nor ever will be an A in the word cemetery.

I know what you’re thinking. "But.. I’ve seen street signs that have certain roads listed as Cemetary Road!" You probably have. This means the moron who made the street sign didn’t know how to spell either. If that’s the case, sue your town for promoting stupidity.

Which Of These Traits Applies To YOUR Computing Life?...

    If there is ” a rat” in “separate”, does it then get pronounced as “sep-a rat-eee”?

    Oddly enough, no. Separate is pronounced as “sep-eh-rett”. One of the wonders of the English language. :-)

  3. Gram says:

    You forgot “Origional”
