I am afraid your title has an error, sorry to burst your bubble.

Well the most mis-spelt word to me is the word "Believe." Seeing as how I am a huge Naruto fan, I notice a lot of people spell "Believe" as "belive."

Print dictionaries are your friends, too.

Embouchure is like never used except in band geek threads.

So?! We still need to know how to spell it. If I was going to spell it, be spelling it like "Ambisure"

Theatre is for plays, and theater is for films.

Can someone settle an argument for me?

I am very convinced that the shortened version of "until" is "'til" as opposed to "till." "Till" is a farming term... At least that's what I think it is.

Hi, I'm new to the this guild. I was looking up in the dictionary about "until" it shows that is an abbreviation for the word "utility". As I read more on the words "til" or "till", it shows these wrods are used also to the word "untill"
"Til" is a conjunction word for "untill"
"Till" is used for "cultivate" or as your saying a farming term. Hope this works out for everyone. Need anymore help just feel free to PM me.

Excuse me, but I'm in band. Just joking with you.
I mainly dislike the fact that people on Aol Instant Messenger, use "Dat" instead of "That" It just sounds kind of strange, like you're a baby trying to talk.

It bugs me when people say I spell things wrong because I use the British version.:

Colour for Color
Favourite for Favorite
Centre for Center

And so on. Excuse me for being British.

How about "theater"?

Theatre.

And then they all whine and use their lame txt tlk to yell at me:

u

And then I bang my head on my keyboard and threaten to kill myself.

That is normally how it goes.

Other words that annoy me when they are used:

Occurrence - Remember not only the occurrence of double double consonants in this word, but that the suffix is -ence, not -ance. No reason, just the English language keeping us on our toes
Leisure - Yet another violator of the i-before-e rule. You can be sure of the spelling of the last syllable but not of the pronunciation.
Existence - No word like this one spelled with an (a) is in existence. This word is a menage a quatre of one (i) with three (e)s.
Experience - Don't experience the same problem many have with "existence" above in this word: -ence!
A lot - Two words! Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time to this problem.

And there you go. Some of the top words that kill me.

Incorrect. Misspelled is valid.
