I've never understood why so many people misspell definitely.
I'm from Oregon and regularly misspell definitely even though I know how it's spelled. When I saw the threat topic, that's the first word that popped to mind. No idea why.

"You're" isn't on anybody's list? Not legit.

This data can't be that good. Most of these words wouldn't be used enough to be the state's "top" misspelled words, both grey/gray are correct, and no good way to tell the difference between a typo and not knowing how to spell a word.

Why the hell are there two U's in vacuum anyway?

I've always heard gray = American spelling, grey = British spelling. Easy way to remember is A-American, E-England.

I was fully expecting Louisiana to be the misuse of
"Our" "or" and "are"
See "for sale are trade" in craigslist and other classifieds.

No, LA is defiantly correct the way it is. That is the dominate misspelled word you people have.

Effect vs affect always throws me off

Obviously, this list was made before the opossum strutted into Alex Box.

I struggled for a long time with those.
Most of the time effect is a thing (ie a noun). The effect of 3 days of steady rain is a lot of flooding. Affect is a verb. The flooding will affect a lot of people. Where it gets confusing is when effect is used as a verb. I had to effect repairs to my house due to the flooding.

You would figure leprechaun would be an issue in Alabama.
