Have you ever just picked up a dictionary and started reading it?  It really is interesting to learn where words come from, what they really mean and how to spell them correctly. It is common for both kids and adults to misspell words. Luckily for all of us, we have Spell Check on our computers. But that is not always available for us. All students will have to write essays on college entrance exams without using a computer. And all of us will be faced with spelling challenges when we write from time to time.

We can teach ourselves how to spell correctly just by using and memorizing the words. Here are 20 commonly misspelled words spelled correctly (followed by the most common misspelled version)

  1. a lot (alot)
  2. a while (awhile)
  3. acommodate (accomodate)
  4. committed (commited)
  5. embarrass (embarass)
  6. grammar (grammer)
  7. grateful (greatful)
  8. license (lisense)
  9. missile (missal)
  10. misspell (mispell)
  11. no one (noone)
  12. occurrence (ocurrence)
  13. plagiarize (plagarize)

  16. rhythm (rythm)
