Correct spelling can be easily inculcated into our habits, if a little attention is paid to it. Most spelling mistakes are silly mistakes caused by lack of focus and concentration. We are not talking about the really tongue-twisting words here, that no one has ever heard of..
We are talking of words that are a part of everybody's general vocabulary. Words that we use in our daily lives many times and yet misspell them. Words like ACCOMMODATE, TUITION, COMMITTEE, PROFESSION etc.. to name a few.
Don't we all hate seeing our name misspelled ? Isn't it an automatic reaction to correct it at once ? Well it is the same with everyone else.
Wrong spellings can also create a lot of embarrassment, financial losses, misunderstandings and in today's digital world wrong results in google searches !
So let's all try and work on our spellings, get children to focus on correct spellings !
It is not all that difficult.
A few fun facts :
DO YOU KNOW, an average teenager or young adult has a working vocabulary of 5000 - 10000 words only. Out of these the majority of words are those which we do not misspell like HE, SHE, HIM, HER, IT, A, AN, THE, CAT, DOG, CAR..... ETC ETC.
So if we look at where we go wrong it is only about 1000 - 2000 words that we misspell in our vocabulary. So if can just work on these 1000 - 2000 words, we would improve our spelling significantly.
It is towards this that we have compiled a list of the 1000 most commonly misspelled words. These are all words that we come across and also use. These have been compiled on the basis of more than 10000 spelling contests held with about 2.5 MILLION students !
