58個常會拼錯的英文單字


根據一項最新調查顯示,英國人最常拼錯的單字是definitely(肯定地),常被誤拼成definately。容易拼錯的英文單字前三名分別是 definitely,sacrilegious(該受天譴的)和indict(起訴),怎麼拼才對,英國人經常霧煞煞。

此外,mortgage(貸款)拼成morgauge,speech拼成speach也是常見錯誤。

即使名人也會拼錯字,最經典的例子就是美國前副總統奎爾,他和小學生玩拼字糾正對方potato(馬鈴薯)拼錯了,應該是potatoe,結果是他錯了。 另外英國首相布萊爾拼錯了tomorrow為toomorrow達三十年。



下列是在學生英文作文中常見容易拼錯的英文單字,您可以看看你是否也曾犯同樣的錯誤。
