getmischWent to ship a package the other day and the guy in the Post Office insisted on trying to pronounce my name. He did pretty great, considering the surprising twists I've heard.

Cara BruarI try not to be judgmental. I really do. But peek (look) is not peak (mountain) is definitely not pique (annoyance). Reading a sentence comes to a screaming halt if the wrong word is there. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/spelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spelling</a>

I posted a toot the other day about the words Torturous and Tortuous. But there are also things like Tentative and Attentive.And stupid spellcheck won't spot any of these!Stupid spellcheck.<a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Spelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spelling</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/SpellingMistakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpellingMistakes</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writing</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Spellcheck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spellcheck</a>

Jody HughesIt’s quite easy to mistakenly write lead (element Pb) instead of led, because they sound the same. I see this all the time. But it never seems to happen that people write read (past tense) instead of red, yet the two situations seem similar.I guess it has to do with the relative common-ness of led and red, and the fact that we learn red much earlier than led.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/wordplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wordplay</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/spelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spelling</a>

If they could spell "accommodate," they might make good copy editors.Decades ago, after fumbling it myself, I asked 30 other experts how to spell the word. All my fellow marketing writers plus managers, editors, tech writers, etc., in the corporate communications office where I worked. Only 1 person — a lowly (but beloved) typist — got it right.<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Words" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Words</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Spelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spelling</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Publishing</a>
