English spelling mistakes happen because of the nuances of the English language, and this guide will help you identify and avoid them.
Spelling is necessary to proper English writing. Good writers generally assume they are also good spellers until they start digging into common English spelling mistakes. The English language has grown and developed over time, and as it has some spellings have changed.
Not only that, but English spelling is different in Australian English, British English, and American English. No wonder there is so much confusion among English writers! We did some research to determine what are the most common spelling mistakes in the English language, so you can avoid making them in your own writing.

English Spelling Mistakes — The Research
We performed some research about English words that people regularly misspell. Interestingly, the most commonly misspelled words are different based on where the English speaker lives. Some facts that we found include:
- Favourite/Favorite is the most difficult word to spell across the English-speaking world.
- Definitely and diarrhoea/diarrhea are runners-up.
- In New Zealand, one of the most Googled spelling searches is “How to spell Australia.”
- Potato is the top word that the Irish have trouble spelling.
- Everyone is confused about spelling auntie/aunty. Interestingly, both are correct spellings.
Some things that trip up native speakers when spelling English words include:
- Double letters, especially double consonants
- Different spellings for English/British/Australian spellings
- Homophones,
- Words with pronunciation different from the spelling
Why English is So Hard to Spell
Across the globe, English remains one of the more challenging languages to learn that is rife with misspellings. Because English-speaking countries have had a global influence for centuries, it has become a “vampire” language, which means it absorbs words from other languages.
In the English vocabulary, you will find words that come from German, Latin, Greek, French, and even Spanish root words. Because these languages do not have the same spelling rules as English, the spelling changes.
In addition, American English and British English are not the same. Where “favorite” is correct in America, the word is “favourite” in England. Thus, a discussion of English spelling mistakes needs to have a breakdown between different countries.
Most Common Mispellings In The English Language
Because English is the language of several different countries, breaking down common misspellings is more challenging. However, across the English-speaking world, there are certain words that regularly come up in searches for how to spell. These include:
- Gray/grey
- Cancelled/canceled
- Beautiful
- Diarrhea/diarrhoea
- Favorite/favourite
- Auntie/aunty
- Travelling/traveling
- Michael
- Honor/Honour
- Counselor/Counsellor
- Definitely
Differences Between English and American Spelling
One of the reasons English can be difficult to spell is because American and British English spell words differently. For instance, American words that end in “or” typically end in “our” in British English, such as labour and labor. Some other common differences include:
- The suffix -ize in American English is -ise in British (Apologize/apologise)
- The ending “yze” in American English is “yse” in British (Analyze/analyse)
- A double letter “l” in verbs ending in a vowel in British English, but not in American (Travelled/traveled)
- Words spelled with an “e” in American English may have an “ae” or “oe” spelling in British English (manoeuvre/maneuver)
- Some words ending in “ense” or “anse” in American English end in “ence” or “ance” in British (defense/defence)
Common Spelling Mistakes in the United Kingdom
Writers in the United Kingdom struggle to spell many words, but interestingly they are words that have their roots in the American English language. These words are:
- Diarrhoea: Diarrhea in America
- Favourite: Favorite in America

- Behaviour: Behavior in America
- Honour: Honor in America
- Assess: Sometimes misspelled asess or asses
- Counsellor: Counselor in America
- Auntie: Can also be Aunty
- Travelling: Traveling in America
Common Spelling Mistakes in the United States
Interestingly, it is the difference between American and British spelling that trips up American writers as well. These words are the most commonly searched for their spelling in the U.S.:
- Gray: Grey in England
- Canceled: Cancelled in England
- Beautiful: All those vowels confuse writers
- Hors d’oeuvres: French word is confusing to English writers
- Favorite: Favourite in England
- Resume: Often confused because of two words with different pronunciations but the same spelling
- Tomorrow: Often incorrectly spelled tommorrow
- Forty: Fourty was once correct, but rarely used now
- Bougie: Slang word that is difficult for many to spell
- Definitely: Trips up Americans just like English writers
Common Spelling Mistakes in Canada
Canada is also among the English-speaking countries, and they have slightly different spellings than America. Canadian English tends to follow British spelling rules. Some words that are commonly confused as a result are:
- Neighbour: Neighbor in America
- License: Only the verb form in Canada, the noun is licence

- Dessert: Often confused with desert, which is a different word
- Definitely: Sometimes spelled defenetly, definately or definitely

- Receipt: Common misspelling is reciept

- Counsellor: Counselor in America
Commonly Spelling Mistakes in Australia
In Australia, the double consonants that are common in British spelling, but not in American spelling, trip up writers quite often, as does the “o” vs “ou” spelling differences. Similarly, the suffix -ise is used in Australia, but -ize is the American spelling. Some of the most often misspelled words in Australia include:
- Jewellery: Jewelry in America
- Colour: Color in America
- Definitely: Sometimes spelled defenetly, definately or definitely
- Neighbour: Neighbor in America
- Diarrhoea: Diarrhea in America
- Aunt: The root word between the aunty/auntie debate
- Dessert: Often confused with desert
- Apologise: Apologize in America

- Colour: Color in America
- Aunty: Auntie is also correct
- Favourite: Favorite in America
- Diarrhoea: Diarrhea in America

- Definitely: Sometimes spelled defenetly, definately or definitely
- Gorgeous: The three vowels at the end remain confusing
- Australia: The neighboring country confuses New Zealanders
- Believe: Often misspelled beleive
- Vacuum: Sometimes misspelled vaccum or vaccuum

How do you tell a spelling mistake from a grammar mistake? For example:
- Your the best.
- This iz the end.
- I likes music.
- She preatend to be asleep.
One method is to read the erroneous sentence aloud (let’s call it the ‘speech method’): if the sentence sounds correct then it has a spelling mistake, otherwise it has a grammar mistake. Applied to the examples, 1 and 2 have spelling mistakes, and 3 and 4 have grammar mistakes.
Another method is to look up each word of the erroneous sentence in a dictionary (let’s call it the ‘dictionary method’): if the sentence uses a word that is not in the dictionary, then it has a spelling mistake, otherwise it has a grammar mistake. Applied to the examples, 1 and 3 have grammar mistakes, and 2 and 4 have spelling mistakes.
The problem is that these two methods give different results (for 1 and 4, not for 2 and 3). Which method should I use?

You can’t always tell which type of mistake it is. It might be one or the other, or even both or neither. Consider the following:
- This sentence has a spelling mistak.
- This sentence are ungrammatical.
- If the miss steaks are over there, perhaps it’s both.
- if the missed steaks are over here, though, that might be intentional.
But to answer your question: you need to first try to understand the intent. Then if the sentence doesn’t match that intent, you can look more carefully for causes. Typos that result in words not recorded in dictionaries would be obvious spelling mistakes; but if all the words in the sentence are valid English words, things become a lot more messy.
If you consider grammatical correctness to be independent of intent (which is perfectly legitimate to do), it becomes a matching exercise to see if any combination of the tenets of your chosen grammar can produce the sentence.
The trap, however, is that there are numerous English dialects. It’s even worse with rhyming slang such as “He’s on the dog”: “dog and bone” rhymes with “telephone”, then you drop words out. It’s not a spelling mistake if it’s really what they wanted to say. Likewise, “Who ya callin’ short?” can be considered ungrammatical, but it’s completely idiomatic in some dialects.
In summary:
- Spelling: pick a dictionary and try to find the words.
- Grammar: pick a grammar and check if the sentence confirms to it.
- General rule: check the text against the intent.

The distinction depends on what is on the mind of the person who is making the mistake: is that person mistaken about the relevant rules of English grammar, or merely about the spelling? When we see a mistake, we can usually think of a reasonable explanation of what led the person to make the mistake, and then classify the mistake accordingly. For example, it is reasonable to think that a person who wrote ‘This iz the end’ is relatively clear about how to structure this sentence and is only mistaken about the spelling of is. We would thus say that this is a spelling mistake.
Sometimes, it is, however, difficult to be sure what was on the person’s mind. Did the person who wrote ‘Your the best’ want to write ‘You’re the best’ and was mistaken in thinking that you’re can be spelled as your? If so, this would be a spelling mistake. But maybe the person really wanted to write your and mistakenly thought that English syntax permits combining your and the best in this way. In that case, the person would be making a mistake about the grammar. Or, perhaps, the person knows that this combination does not fit the standard rules of the syntax, but mistakenly thinks that ‘Your the best’ is some sort of an idiom that is an exception to the standard rules. That would be a mistake of yet another kind. If we are not sure what was on the person’s mind, we cannot be sure how to classify the mistake.
There is thus no simple rule for classification of such mistakes that can be applied solely on the basis of what the mistake looks like; the classification is always based on our (more or less reliable) reconstruction of how the person was led to make the mistake.

Grammar is in the ear; spelling, the eye.
| spoken/sounds wrong | written/looks wrong | error in |
|---|---|---|
| no | no | none |
| yes | no | grammar |
| no | yes | spelling |
| yes | yes | both |
If it sounds right when you hear it spoken but not when you see it written, then it cannot be a grammatical error. It can only be an error in orthographic transcription.
Grammar faults cannot be seen, only heard, because grammar is a property peculiar to the real language, the spoken one.
Spelling faults cannot be heard, only seen, because spelling is a property peculiar to the technology of writing. The same is true of such things as upper- versus lowercase, compound words with or without any separators, italic versus roman, kerning and ligatures, and much else besides. Technology is complicated.
Like all other technology, spelling is an invention, a deliberate creation, not the natural product of the human brain’s neurological hardware. It is constantly being fiddled with by its technologists, and fumbled with by those less well taken to such technologies.
Grammar was not created by deliberate intent over the ages. It developed organically, even unconsciously, in the minds of its living speakers. It continues to do so just as long as that language remains spoken, and then it does not. Once an organism dies, organic growth ceases. So too with language.

In communication, an origin/source/sender/encoder (who) encodes a message/content (what) into a signal/form (how) and sends it to a channel/path/line/medium. A destination/sink/receiver/decoder (to whom) receives a corresponding signal/form (how) from the channel/path/line/medium and decodes it into a message/content (what).
To properly answer the question, one should distinguish between encoding errors, signal defects, decoding failures, decoding errors and message defects (the terms ‘error’, ‘defect’ and ‘failure’ are borrowed from software testing). An error in a process (encoding or decoding) may result in a defect in its product (encoded signal or decoded message), and a defect in a product (encoded signal) may result in a failure in a subsequent process (decoding).
An encoding error at the lexical level or grammatical level may result in
- a signal defect at the lexical level (e.g. ‘This iz the end.’), in which case the destination can detect the encoding error, can classify the encoding error as lexical and can correct the signal defect to the nearest valid signal (e.g. ‘This is the end.’); or
- a signal defect at the grammatical level (e.g. ‘Your the best.’), in which case the destination can detect the encoding error, cannot classify the encoding error and can correct the signal defect to the nearest valid signal (e.g. ‘You’re the best.’, which happens to be a heterograph of the defective signal); or
- no signal defect (e.g. ‘Give me an egg sample.’), in which case the destination cannot detect the encoding error, cannot classify the encoding error and cannot correct the signal defect.
Thus, unless the destination knows the origin’s message, the destination can only detect lexical encoding errors resulting in lexical signal defects. However the destination can always detect lexical and grammatical signal defects.
Coming back to the examples given in the question: ‘Your the best.’ and ‘I likes music.’ have an encoding error (of unknown level) resulting in a grammatical signal defect, while ‘She preatend to be asleep.’ and ‘This iz the end.’ have a lexical encoding error resulting in a lexical signal defect.
