Commonly misspelled English words〔 (UK: misspelt words) are words that are often unintentionally misspelled in general writing. A selected list of common words is presented below, under ''Documented list of common misspellings''. Although the word "common" is subjective depending on the situation, the focus is on general writing, rather than in a specific field. Official spellings also vary by country or region, with some rejecting the American or British variants as incorrect for the region.〔 "Canadian, British and American Spelling", LukeMastin.com, December 2008, webpage: (LM-spelling ). 〕〔 "Canadian, British and American Spelling – Some Commonly Misspelled Words", LukeMastin.com, December 2008, webpage: (LM-misspelled ). 〕 Within a particular field of study, such as computer graphics, other words might be more common for misspelling, such as "pixel" misspelled as "pixle" (or variants "cesium" and "caesium"). Sometimes words are purposely misspelled, as a form in slang, abbreviations, or in song lyrics, etc. In general writing, some words are frequently misspelled, such as the incorrect spelling "concensus"〔 for "consensus"〔 "Merriam-Webster Online" (results for misspelling as "concensus"), Merriam-Webster, 2008, webpage: (MW-concensus ). 〕 found in numerous webpages on the Internet.〔 Other common misspellings include "equiptment" (for "equipment"),〔〔 "Merriam-Webster Online" (results for misspelling as "equiptment"), Merriam-Webster, December 2008, webpage: (MW-equiptment ). 〕 "independant" (for "independent"),〔〔 "Merriam-Webster Online" (results for misspelling as "independant"), Merriam-Webster, December 2008, webpage: (MW-independant ). 〕 "readible" (for ''readable''),〔〔 "Merriam-Webster Online" (results for misspelling as "readible"), Merriam-Webster, December 2008, webpage: (MW-readible ). 〕 or "usible" (for ''usable/useable'').〔〔 "100 Most Often Misspelled Words in English", LoveToKnow, Corp., December 2008, webpage: (YDict ). 〕〔 "Merriam-Webster Online" (results for misspelling as "usible"), Merriam-Webster, December 2008, webpage: (MW-usible ). 〕〔 "200 Most Commonly Misspelled Words (Part 1)", Richard Nordquist (see below: References). 〕〔 "200 Most Commonly Misspelled Words (Part 2)", Richard Nordquist (see below: References). 〕〔 "200 Most Commonly Misspelled Words (Part 3)", Richard Nordquist (see below: References). 〕 == Unlimited misspellings == Because many words can be extended with prefixes (such as "un-" or "anti-" or "re-") or suffixes (such as "-ly" or "-ing" or "-ness"), a comprehensive list of words prone to misspelling would contain thousands of variations from combining prefixes or suffixes (or both) added to the root words. To limit the scope to common words, the top 350 words are considered (according to various sources). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Commonly misspelled English words」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
