Common misspelt words!

Hi,

I've realised that with the use of autocorrect on word, I often misspell things in real life situations - such as essays.

Feel free to post commonly misspelt words or words you find hard to spell and their correct spelling! :)

Definitely not definately - there is no 'a' in the word.

I always write seperate instead of separate! But realise my mistake almost as soon as I write it and correct it anyway.

I frequently write 'tommorow' instead of 'tomorrow'.

Well, "morrow" means 'the next day', like "I'll see you on the morrow, good chap!!", and 'to' is obviously a word we use to describe a destination (at times) -- eg, I'm going to the shops.

So tomorrow, 'to', the next day, 'morrow'.
Otherwise you're writing Tom the next day. ;)

Unnecessary

As opposed to: unecesary, unnesessary, unecessary, unnessessary..you get the point :)
