Google Reveals the most Misspelled Word
Google
pulled data from its search trends to reveal the top word most people
have trouble spelling in each state. The result is a list that would
likely make the super spellers competing in the Scripps National
Spelling Bee laugh.
Using search queries that began with "how to spell" and then the word in
question, Google was able to determine the most troublesome words for
people in all 50 states.
California is home to the Mojave Desert, but the word "desert" had the
most spelling queries. Arizonans and people in New Hampshire struggled
with the word "diarrhea," while Floridians searched for the proper
spelling of "tomorrow."
Other repeat offenders were "pneumonia," "cancelled," "vacuum" and "gray."
