Why should I be sad with the title of this post? Look at the title again. Look carefully. Get it? If not, either you don't think that minor spelling errors are that big a deal, or you don't know how to spell DISAPPOINTING. There are TWO P'S and ONE S, not the other way around. I see this word misspelled (yes, misspelled is spelled misspelled) SO MANY TIMES, especially on the internet. I know, it's not really a very big deal, and everyone misspells some words, but whenever I see, for example, an iTunes review and the person writes that they're "dissapointed" with the album, I skip to the next review for someone I can trust. Maybe not always fair. If you start trying to notice it, you'll see people misspelling "disappoint" (that's the right way!) a lot.
Think of it as 2 words if you have to: dis-appoint. (Although I don't think that it has anything to do with un appointing anyone or anything like that.)
Another word I can think of that people commonly misspell is "weird." That's the right way—weird. NOT wierd.
Neither of these is a very big deal, but people might look down on what you write if you make just one error like this!
If I can think of more common errors I'll add some...
"alot" bugs me.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's good. I thought of a few others, like apostrophe use, but I only want to add ones that are misused a ton
