Subject: Re: Commonly misspelled words?



As we have WOTYs, perhaps we should also have Commonly Misspelled Words (Comiswords?)

I have just been asked to supply to someone on campus a list of commonly

misspelled words I have provided it's for its, their for there and there for

their. Can you assist?



(I have not taught English 101 recently.)



This is needed within 2 hours.



Thanks,

Bethany





How about "haven't/havn't" and "arguement/argument"? I have problems

with these myself. Oh, yeah, and "definitely/definately". That one

always gets me too.
