As someone who sometimes spells a word so badly that that I can find  it in the dictionary I shouldn't have standing to comment but what the heck.  I occasionally see: Fowling Shot (a shotgunner's magazine perhaps) or front or rear sites.

I am not any kind of English teacher or expert, but this one sometimes sort of bugs me. Not really a misspelling, but the words then and than are mixed up and misused by many.

Then refers to time; past tense. Now and then. 

Than is used as a comparison. This one is better than that one.

Old man rant over. wink

 

Think! It's not illegal, Yet.

David, I'd take my hat off to you but it keeps falling up.

 

How about meaning leade, but writing lead. Hell I can even pronounce them the same.....

Some of the words we commonly use are not so common.  I have to constantly correct my spell checker.

I am terrible at good english and typing on my small cell phone does not help.

Do you ever ask your wife how to spell certain words or googling word before typing?

Sorry guys, but some of your cooking shows make the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, especially in the pronunciation of Caramelise....it's not Carmelise there is another "a" in there.

 

Beagling: to hunt with beagles.

 

Couldn't help it.

Use a gage to check the gauge of that sheet metal.

Try not to get mold on your mould.

I still use mould for some reason. Maybe because I use gauge instead of gage. How about Minie? As in Minie ball or bullet.

Mold or mould gives me problems.  

Me too. I know both are correct spellings, but it taken years of discipline to get me spelling it, mold, which is the American way to spell it. If I am not mistaken, mould is the English (Great Britain and its colonies) way to spell it.
