    Very useful blog, Mary.  Thank you.  I'm an expert when it comes to misspelling words.  I make a lot of them...lol!

    By the way, you may want to double check your title.

    Thank you Lady Anne and noaslpls!!
    And thanks for making that clear; as I said in a comment below, there are many cases where two different ways to write a word can be both correct depending on the country you are, US or UK :)

    The infography also shows that's the UK version. I think it's also good to know the differences between british and american english (in this case) and not to mix both once you're talking or writting english. I mean, of course everybody would understand you if, for instance, you usually write like british english but you prefer to write 'color'(US) instead of 'colour'(UK).
    But I think that to mix different ways thinking that "it's Ok because both are correct anyway" it's not really good. Because at the end, it makes your english to sound weird. It would show that your english level is kind of 'messy'.

    Yeah...I agree with Noas, too!  Practise and practice can be interchangeably used.

    Practise and practice are not misspelled words. In the US, you can use practice for noun and verb. For British English, you must use practice for the noun, and practise for the verb. It's the same with behaviour/behavior, favourite/favorite and centre/center. These are not misspelled worlds. They are just differences between British English and US English.

    Hello Mary,

    These words are not misspelled:

    behavior for behaviour 

    favorite for favourite

    center for centre

    In my place, these words are interchangeably used and they are accepted.

    The others are of course, totally misspelled.

    haha yeah i can get that Estanis
    Sometimes it also happens to me that I have like a kind of 'dyslexic moment' when writing fast, and I tend to misplace some letters :)

  • Estanis February 24, 2015 20:49
    Many times I've written MUSN'T instead of MUSTN'T. I have to stop and think it twice.

    Yeah Luci you're right, there are many cases in which two different ways of written a word can be both correct depending on the country you are, US or UK :)
    I remember i had a mess with color vs colour. Sometimes English language is a really mess for non native speakers :)

    Thanks a heap for your comment!
