Social media seems to have reinforced people to write they loose something when they meant to write lose.

I think social media has no part in reinforcing this, just exposing how stupid people are.

I too made the misspelling error “alot” until my Brit English teacher corrected my spelling on a hand written essay during class. I see the misspelling error “alot” a lot.
I was told in high school that I shouldn't use it at all. "A lot is a piece of land."

Seperate instead of separate

Occured instead of occurred

Goverment instead of government

This map isn't fair to Texas.


Most of its citizens refer to that word as "My job".

And the most misspelled is Ridiculous.


Most southern people cant even pronounce it correctly. But why do they also have to spell it how they pronounce it: rediculous?
