The most misspelled word on forums...

[Mike Phillips]

Just from what I see on all the forums I've ever posted to, the most misspelled word is... a lot.

Most people type it as one word, like this,

alot

But actually it's two words...

a lot


No big deal, and we certainly don't need the Spelling Police on our forum, heck I wood bee the phirst 2 goe to gell.

I would like to add:

Interchanging your and you're.

I have to think the mistakes made with there, their, they're and your/you're have to rank up there too.

[Mike Phillips]

And to, too and two...

I make all these mistakes all the time. I know the difference but sometimes my fingers type faster than I think and spell check just checks to make sure the word is spelled correctly, not if it's the correct word.

Another set of words that get by spell check is form and from, it's easy to mistype the word but if they are spelled correctly then spell check doesn't flag them.

How about of in place of have? "Should of" in place of "Should have".

I also see than and then interchanged incorrectly quite often.

[RobZ71LM7]

Ridiculous not rediculous.

I also hate the improper usage of was and were...

[SkateForGirl]

Improperly using their/there/they're. My GF hates when I do this but I now do it on purpose.

[Sinbad]

It's gauge, not guage
