“Are you quite quiet?”

English spelling is difficult. Words are often not spelled the way they sound. Raccoon sounds like it should have a k but doesn’t. Threw sounds like through butis spelled differently. Though, cough , and through look like rhyming words but

are actually not pronounced at all alike. Given that English has a vocabulary of over 400,000 words, it’s a wonder that we spell as well as we do. Somewords—called homophones—sound exactly alike but have different spellings andmeanings. Other words are not exactly homophones but are similar enough to beoften confused. Study the following examples:

Altar (a raised platform in church) The minister stood at the altar .

Alter (to change) I can alter your jacket.

Homophones:

It’s (a contraction of “it is”) It’s getting late.

Its (possessive form of the pronoun “it”) The rabbit is in its nest.

Accept (to receive with consent) I accept your money.

Except (excluded) Everybody left except Fred.

Confusing Words:

Advice (a noun) She asked for advice . Advise (a verb) We advise you to study.

Homophones and Frequently Confused WordsLearn the meaning and spelling of homophones and frequently confused words. Errors in spelling can drasticallychange the meaning of writing. Angel spelled correctly will still confuse your reader if you really meant angle .English is riddled with many homophones and confusing words. The examples on the following sheets are justsome of the ones you are mostly likely to encounter. When in doubt, use a dictionary to verify that the word youwant to use really is the word that matches the context of your sentence.Sole — only; the bottom of the footI was the sole member of the team to go.The soles of my feet itch.

Soul — the spiritMusic is good for the soul .

Whose — the possessive form of whoI know whose coat that is. Who’s — a contraction of “who is”Who’s she talking about?Your — the possessive form of youThis is your choice.

You’re — a contraction of “you are”You’re quite welcome.

Their — ownershipThis is their boat.

There — in that placeMy car is over there .

They’re — a contraction of “theyare”They’re friendly people.

To — a preposition; part of anyinfinitiveHe went to the beach.I’m going to walk the dog.

Too — also, excessivelyFirst Julie wept; then Meg wept, too .Don’t eat too much ice cream.

Two — the whole numberbetween one and threeI have two dogs.Two round trip tickets to Pariscost $1,700.28.

Wri ting for Results

West Virginia Division of Personnel AUX HO Misspelled words list 1Organization and Human Resource Development

A

acceptable o Several words made the list because of the suffix pronounced -êbl but sometimes

spelled -ible, sometimes -able. Just remember to accept any table offered to youand you will spell this word OK.

accidentally o It is no accident that the test for adverbs on -ly is whether they come from an

adjective on -al ("accidental" in this case). If so, the -al has to be in the spelling. No publical, then publicly.

accommodate o Remember, this word is large enough to accommodate both a double "c" AND a

double "m".acquire

o Try to acquire the knowledge that this word and the next began with the prefix ad- but the [d] converts to [c] before [q].

acquit o See the previous discussion.

a lot o Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time to this problem.

amateur o Amateurs need not be mature: this word ends on the French suffix -eur (the

equivalent of English -er).

apparent o A parent need not be apparent but "apparent" must pay the rent, so remember this

word always has the rent.argument

o Let's not argue about the loss of this verb's silent [e] before the suffix -ment.atheist

o This word comprises the prefix a- "not" + the "god" (also in the-ology) + -ist "onewho believes."

B

believe o [i] before [e] except after [c]

bellwether o Often misspelled "bellweather." A wether is a gelded ram, chosen to lead the

herd (thus his bell) due to the greater likelihood that he will remain at all timesahead of the ewes.

column o Silent final [e] is commonplace in English but a silent final [n] is not uncommon,

especially after [m].committed

17/25



I

ignorance o Don't show your ignorance by spelling this word -ence!

immediate o The immediate thing to remember is that this word has a prefix, in- "not" which

becomes [m] before [m] (or [b] or [p]). "Not mediate" means “direct ” which iswhy "immediately" means "directly."

independent o Please be independent but not in your spelling of this word. It ends on -ent.

indispensable o Knowing that this word ends on -able is indispensable to good writing.

inoculate o This one sounds like a shot in the eye. One [n] the eye is enough.

intelligence o Using two [l]s in this word and ending it on -ence rather than -ance are marks of .

. . you guessed it.

J

jewelry o Sure, sure, it is made by a jeweler but the last [e] in this case flees the scene like a

jewel thief. However, if you prefer British spelling, remember to double the [l]:"jeweller," "jewellery."

judgment o Traditionally, the word has been spelled judgment in all forms of the English

language. However, the spelling judgement (with e added) largely replaced judgment in the United Kingdom in a non-legal context. In the context of the law,however, judgment is preferred. In the US, judgment is still preferred and

judgement is considered incorrect by many American style guides.

K

kernel (colonel ) o There is more than a kernel of truth in the claim that all the vowels in this word

are [e]s. So why is the military rank (colonel) pronounced identically? Englishspelling can be chaotic.

L

leisure Yet another violator of the i-before-e rule. liaison

library o It may be as enjoyable as a berry patch but that isn't the way it is spelled. That

first [r] should be pronounced, too.license

o Where does English get the license to use both its letters for the sound [s] in oneword?

lightning

M

from the verb "maintain."maneuver

o Man, the price you pay for borrowing from French is high. This one goes back toFrench main + oeuvre "hand-work," a spelling better retained in the Britishspelling, "manoeuvre."

medieval o The medieval orthography of English even lays traps for you: everything about

the MIDdle Ages is MEDieval or, as the British would write, mediaeval.memento

o Why would something to remind of you a moment be spelled "memento?" Well,it is.

millennium o Here is another big word, large enough to hold two double consonants, double [l]

and double [n].miniature

o Since that [a] is seldom pronounced, it is seldom included in the spelling. Thisone is a "mini ature". Remember that.

minuscule o Since something minuscule is smaller than a miniature, shouldn't they be spelled

similarly? Less than cool, or "minus cule."

mischievous o This mischievous word holds two traps: [i] before [e] and [o] before [u]. Four of

the five vowels in English reside here.misspell

o What is more embarrassing than to misspell the name of the problem? Justremember that it is mis + spell and that will spell you the worry about spelling"spell."

N

neighbor o The word "neighbor" breaks the i-before-e rule and invokes the silent "gh". This

is fraught with error potential. If you use British spelling, it will cost you another[u]: "neighbour."

noticeable o The [e] is noticeably retained in this word to indicate the [c] is "soft," pronounced

like [s]. Without the [e], it would be pronounced "hard," like [k], as in"applicable."

O

occasionally o Writers occasionally tire of doubling so many consonants and omit one, usually

one of the [l]s.occurrence

o Remember not only the occurrence of double double consonants in this word, butthat the suffix is -ence, not -ance.

P

pastime o Since a pastime is something you do to pass the time, you would expect a double

[s] here. Well, there is only one. The second [s] was slipped through the cracksin English orthography long ago.

perseverance o All it takes is perseverance and you, too, can be a (near-)perfect speller. The

suffix is -ance for no reason at all.personnel

o Funny Story (passed along by Bill Rudersdorf): The assistant Vice-President ofPersonnel notices that his superior, the VP himself, upon arriving at his desk inthe morning opens a small, locked box, smiles, and locks it back again. Someyears later when he advanced to that position (inheriting the key), he came to

work early one morning to be assured of privacy. Expectantly, he opened the box. In it was a single piece of paper which said: "Two Ns, one L."

playwright o Those who play right are right-players, not playwrights. Well, since they write

plays, they should be "play-writes," wright right? Rong Wrong. Remember that a play writer in Old English was called a "play worker" and "wright" is from an oldform of "work" (wrought iron, etc.)

possession o Possession possesses more [s]s than a snake.

precede o What follows, succeeds, so what goes before should, what? No, no, no, you are

using logic. Nothing confuses English spelling more than common sense."Succeed" but "precede." (Wait until you see "supersede. ")

principal /principle o The spelling principle to remember here is that the school principal is a prince and

a pal (despite appearances)--and the same applies to anything of foremostimportance, such as a principal principle. A "principle" is a rule.

privilege o According to the pronunciation (not "pronounciation"!) of this word, that middle

vowel could be anything. Remember: two [i]s + two [e]s in that order.pronunciation

o The best way to remember this one is to think of the word “enunciation”. Toenunciate, one must pronounce correctly.

publicly o

Let me publicly declare the rule (again): if the adverb comes from an adjectiveending on -al, you include that ending in the adverb; if not, as here, you don't.

Q

questionnaire o The French doing it to us again. Double up on the [n]s in this word and don't

forget the silent [e].

R

receive /receipt o I hope you have received the message by now: [i] before [e] except after . . . .

recommend o I would recommend you think of this word as the equivalent of commending all

over again: re+commend. That would be recommendable.referred

o Final consonants are often doubled before suffixes (remit: remitted, remitting).However, this rule applies only to accented syllables ending on [l] and [r], e.g."rebelled," "referred" but "traveled," "buffered" and not containing a diphthong,e.g. "prevailed," "coiled."

reference o Refer to the last mentioned word and remember to add -ence to the end for the

noun.relevant

o The relevant factor here is that the word is not "revelant," "revelent," or even"relevent." [l] before [v] and the suffix -ant.

restaurant o 'Ey, you! Remember, these two sounds when you spell "restaurant." They are in

the middle of it.rhyme

o Actually, "rime" was the correct spelling until 1650. After that, egg-heads beganspelling it like "rhythm." Why? No rhyme nor reason other than to make it look

like "rhythm."rhythm o This one was borrowed from Greek (and conveniently never returned) so it is

spelled the way we spell words borrowed from Greek and didn’t return .

Roommate

o You room with this mate. You are like one.

S

schedule o If perfecting your spelling is on your schedule, remember the [sk] is spelled as in

"school."separate

o How do you separate the [e]s from the [a]s in this word? Simple: the [e]ssurround the [a]s.

sergeant o The [a] needed in both syllables of this word has been pushed to the back of the

line. Remember that, and the fact that [e] is used in both syllables, and you canwrite your sergeant without fear of misspelling his rank.

supersede o This word supersedes all others in perversity. As if we don't have enough to

worry about, keeping words on -ceed and -cede ("succeed," "precede, " etc.)straight in our minds, this one has to be different from all the rest. The good newsis: this is the only English word based on this stem spelled -sede.

T

threshold o This one can push you over the threshold. It looks like a compound "thresh +

hold" but it isn't. Two [h]s are enough.twelfth

o Even if you omit the [f] in your pronunciation of this word (which you shouldn't

do), it is retained in the spelling.tyranny

o The guy is a "tyrant" and his problem is "tyranny." Don't forget to double up onthe [n]s, too.

U

until o I will never stop harping on this till this word is spelled with an extra [l]!

V

vacuum o If your head is not a vacuum, remember that the silent [e] on this one married the

[u] and joined him inside the word where they are living happily ever since.Well, the evidence is suggestive, but not conclusive. Anyway, spell this wordwith two [u]s and not like "volume."
