Rich Menga is PCMech's video guy, an author and part-time host of PCMech LIVE.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.

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.
