Avoid these common misspellings
Google has created a fascinating graphic of America’s top misspellings by analysing what people in each state type into its search engine. In Louisiana and Oregon, for instance, most people are unable to spell ‘definitely’, while in California they struggle with ‘desert’. In New York and Colorado people have difficulties spelling ‘beautiful’, in Florida ‘tomorrow’ proves problematic and in Washington, North Carolina and Missouri ‘pneumonia’ is most commonly misspelt. Pity the poor population of Massachusetts though – their most troublesome spelling is the name of their own state!
