Some words are misspelt more frequently than others. Let us take a look at some of these words and try to simplify the way they are spelt:

Acceptable: This is confusing because there are a number of words which make the list because the suffix is pronounced ?bl but sometimes spelled ible, sometimes able. Just remember to accept any table offered, and you will get the right spelling.

Accommodate: Many spell it either with one c or a solitary m. Just remember, the word is large enough to accommodate both a double c and a double m.

Calendar: The word has an e between two as.

Cemetery: It ends with ery, not with ary.

Committed: If you are committed to correct spelling, you will remember that this word doubles its final t from commit to committed.

Consensus: The census does not require a consensus, since they are not related.

Discipline: Be disciplined. Just spell the word with the s and the c.

Drunkenness: Don?t worry. Even sober people at times omit one of the n s.

Embarrass: Like accommodate, it is large enough for a double r and a double s.

Gauge: The problem is in the positioning of the a and the u. Remember, they are in alphabetical order.

Harass: Unlike embarrass, this word is not large enough for two r s, though it has space for a double s.

Indispensable: This word is for able people ends with ?able.

Liaison: It has a spare i, just in case. The s sounds like z.

Manoeuvre: This one goes back to the French main + oeuvre or ?hand-work,? retained in the British spelling. The Americans have a simpler spelling.

Minuscule: One way of remembering is this word is less than cool, or ?minus cule?.

Mischievous: This word holds two traps: i before e and o before u. Also, it has four of the five vowels in English.

Occasionally: The double c is followed by a single s and a double l. Don?t get tired of doing it.

Occurrence: Remember the occurrence of two double consonants and that the suffix is ence, not ance.

Rapprochement: It?s not like approach. One of the most frequently misspelt words.

Separate: How do you separate the es from the as in this word? Simple: the es surround the as.

Sergeant: The a needed in both syllables of this word has been pushed to the back of the line. Remember that, and the fact that e is used in both syllables, and you can write your sergeant without fear of misspelling his rank.

Supersede: Unlike succeed and precede, this is spelt sede.

Telugu: Not ?Telegu? as many people would like to spell it because of the pronunciation.

Vacuum: Spell this word with two us and not like ?volume?.
