Just as a quick test, see if you can tell which of the following words are mispelled.
| supercede |
| conceed |
| idiosyncracy |
| concensus |
| accomodate |
| impressario |
| rhythym |
| opthalmologist |
| diptheriea |
| anamoly |
| afficianado |
| caesarian |
| grafitti |
In fact, they all are. So was misspelled at the end of the preceeding paragraph. So was preceding just there. I'm sorry, I'll stop. But I trust you get the point that English can be a maddeningly difficult language to spell correctly.
