I think it is pretty easy to spell.

Mississippi, on the other hand-do you know how to spell it?

I saw this the other day and pretty judgmental about Alabama not being able to spell nanny.

Might want to hold off on the judgment because you are mistaking Mississippi for Alabama

....

Texas and Missouri, not exactly bastions of Yankee intellect, have some of the longest words and the longest searches are held by West Virginia (often considered one of the 'dumbest' states) and Connecticut, the home of Yale.

That's some impressive analysis. Might I note, though, that West Virginia gets credit for the longest word among all the others not for anything like 'electroencephalographically', but rather 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. Admittedly difficult to spell (it gets marked as wrong even when spelled correctly, yet yields no spelling suggestions), but I doubt they're trying to write their doctoral theses with that search. I'll give Connecticut the benefit of the doubt though; They're probably contributing to scholarly journals.

I've probably been guilty of that on more than one occassion before, therefore it's completely forgivable.

...

I corrected my error.

One more correction to go.

Let's seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Look, if we're going to correct all my mistakes, we might be here all day. I've already forgiven myself. This is bordering on abuse. ( )

And who honestly knows how to spell pneumonia? The silent 'p' comes up so infrequently.

How do you spell 'Michipologist'?!

Is Wisconsin Really That Hard to Spell?


I don't buy the Department of Tourism's 'Indian tribes' excuse. I would venture that certain spell-check programs flag the word as wrong when it's in fact spelled correctly, but Wisconsinites (fastidious as they are) double check with Google for some reassurence. The state's name thus disqualified, that would make 'C-O-W' our most commonly misspelled werd.

It's  'reassurance'

Not one to correct people on their grammar usually, as when I type I don't really care.
But then again, I don't make posts about spelling either.

We will be here all day then. I'll give you a jump on the next one. What's the name of the dashing male leed of the 2009 mystery/fantasy/basketball movie classic The Time Traveler's Wife? Hint: it's not "Banana".

Kenny Bania?

I can't remember how............... hahashahaha

(allow me, kyndo )

Bedankt!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Are we playing "hide the misspelt word"?
I'd play, but honestly, I don't really have the time to comb through every reply, so I guess I'm gonna have to take a rain-cheque.

   On the other hand, this seems like a great venue in which to preach about alternative spellings -- something I've forced myself to no longer do in my actual classes...


Edit: Oh, and I guess I lied: I did actually misspell something in this post. 

Wasn't making a game out of it. Just being goofy and thought it was obvious enough to be not worthy of comment~

Well then.
Way to suck the enjoyment out of spotting other people's spelling errors.





...actually no, not really. Being able to continually indulge in self-righteous pedantry is a big part of why I enjoy being a teacher.
