Friends, thanks for the overwhelming response to our Tips for correct spellings. Some of our friends have asked us to include some tips to remember the spellings that are often misspelled / confuse. Most spelling errors are unintentional. The main problem with the spellings is, people remember the sound of the word in their mother tongue and try to write the spelling to that sound using their own English language skills. But as English is a tricky language, this technique leads to some typing errors. Some common typos are :

• Omitting letters from a word
• Adding extra letters
• Transposing two letters in a word
• Spacing words improperly 

We can avoid these errors with some careful observation and practice. Here is the list of some misspelled / confused words. Just observe the common errors carefully, and learn the correct spellings prudently. We hope this observation helps you improving your spellings. All the Best :)
