I can never get IT'S right!! What's your most common mis spelt word??

The most commonly mis-spelt word for me here on mylot is "because" for sure! For some reason I always seem to end up reversing the a and the u! I also keep using semi-colons instead of apostrophes for words like "can't" and I keep on using the letter p for o and vice versa. When I get carried away I repeat these mistakes over and over and it drives me crazy! lol.

I'm pretty anal when it comes to spelling, mimpi. I don't like seeing red dotted-lines on my response before submitting it. I just have to get it right. I read my post again and again to make sure I got everything right and then post it. But when I'm tired and don't have much time, I tend to give the spelling of the homonym of words. Like I know in my head, I'm thinking "there", I type "their" (which is wrong) or "our" for "are" or vice versa and etcetera. And it's could have, not could of, people!

Come to think of it they are quite few i should be ashamed of. Freind for friend. Hope i've never said fiend instead anytime reponse for response The can'ts. it's. thier's... oops, this list seems to be going on and on. Seems i'm being a little careless, cannot keep blaming it on typos. Now i'm even starting to wonder if the right message is going through.

There is only one word that I commonly misspell. All the others are typos. My word is fenugreek and for some reason I always want to spell it with two n's instead of one. Unlike my habit of going through the occasional two-way door by pushing if I'm going out and by pushing if I'm going out and pulling if I'm coming in, with spelling, I always stop and think. It is the typing that I do automatically.

Hi Mimipi, I always want to spell 'want' wont and I used to always spell definately as definitely until another myLotter in fact pointed out my error LOL but as long as someone can understand what is written things like this do not bother me much. Huggles. Ellie :D

I have trouble with that word, too. I have to stop and think, now is it IT'S or ITS? And, some how the rules of possession just do not apply to this word, when I am sitting here wondering which form to use.*L*

I do type its knowingly feeling lazy to find the gap between the T and S and hit the '.

Most often it is the words that have 'i' and 'e' together that I misspell. Another common thing that happens to me is that I think and type so fast that Iam slower in releasing the 'shift' key after I stype the first letter...so I often have the first two letters in capital letters. For example, 'REmember' and I;ve noticed it happens more with words that have an 'e' in the second position (no idea why that is so).

I have to say that I pride myself on the use of correct grammar, spelling and punctuation but there are words that I often type incorrectly because of the way the keys fall. I touch type, i.e. use all fingers and thumbs and there are a few words which I often have to go back over because I always type them wrong LOL! I really don't like to see people referring to themselves as "i" instead of "I" and too often I see people using "your" instead of "you're". Getting back to the point, the word I most commonly mistype that I can think of right now is "probably" which I type as "proabably" :)

Yes the word, probably. And the word receive, receipts... These type of words get me all of the time.. Also, coincidence is another one too..

I'm always double checking its and it's I'm never confident I have the right one....lol But more than that, my rotten root is receive...er recieve...was it receive?...I hate that one..lol

Mine isnt so much misspelled words, as it is mistyped. I almost always type ahve instead of have, or nad instead of and...if u look at many of my posts on here, i am sure i have done it on more than half, i will usually correct it but sometimes im in such a hurry and i see it but finish what im typing and then forget to go back and fix it..lol ya know it takes forever to hit that backspace key at the time of the typo..lol

The word thoroughly used to get me EVERY time! I used to try and actually think of alternate words so I didn't need to remember how to spell it. lol Then I started saying the word out loud as Tho Rough Ly and now I can spell it fine. Don't know how I'd do in a conversation now, though! ;)

words like it's are usually mis spell because Im lazy typing an ' :) Its true, I do know when to use it but when typing, unless its a formal letter of course, I almost never do..its the same with im, even I I usually write with a small i...so yeah im quite careless when it comes to typing. I apologize to English language ;)

Hi Mou why u r worried its only one word which u cant get right if u talk about me, well most of my spelling are wrong and its mostlu due to careless attitude Opps Sorry, No more truth Byee

I always recall it's "ITS" when referring to the possessive (with the mental tag that for THIS case, the apostrophe disappears), while "IT'S" needs the apostrophe to indicate CONTRACTION. Suffice to say, it's not a problem for ME. However, "THE" is. Inevitably when I'm whizzing along too swiftly on the keys, it comes out "teh." I've noticed others doing this as well. Perhaps it's some sort of dyslexia of the fingers? LOL! Maggiepie

Hmmm.... I cqan never spell liscense...uh...lisence...dang it...LISCENSE...well =FARFIGNEWTON!= -----=PERMIT,= dammit! Never CAN get it right! (I just now happened to remember that!) Grumph. Dang ol' daggone framlesnatchin' word ANYhow! (My best Boomhower imitation.../o) Maggiepie

Hi mimpz! Back when I just joined the site and the spell check its not activated I have done a lot of mis spelt! But now that its activated its not that much anymore. My big issues now is my grammar and few words that are always missing on my post or on my responses. Hopefully in time my grammar will improve.

I like to think that I am very cautious on my spelling. But I do know that I do spell alot wrong. I always put it together instead of seperately. I actually got into trouble by my 15 year old daughter for spelling it this way.

Well my most common misspelt words are freinds,and thiers......I really have to concentrate hard when tying these......
