The Most Misspelled Word in Washington State!

What is Washington's most misspelled word? What are America's? We have a list; we checked it twice, crossed the 't's, and dotted the 'i's. We ensured that the 'I before E except after C' rule is in place, except when it is not, such as in words like 'Deficiency', 'species', 'ancient', and 'conscience' (for example). Let's be honest: the English language can be weird and tough to spell. Thanks to technology, skills such as spelling seem to be taking a backseat in life (how often are you using the speech-to-text function?).

Well, when it comes to the most misspelled words in Washington, we know the top word, which we need some help with, as well as the Top 10 most misspelled words in America. Keep reading to find out what they are, and see if you already know how to spell them.

When Gwen Stefani released the song "Holla Back Girl", she spelled the word 'Banana', and the world was grateful. Then we started to realize that that word isn't all that hard to spell. Why couldn't she spell something harder like 'necessary' or 'quesadilla'?

Something that is so tricky to spell, that when I try to type it, even the spell checker just gives up.

Where Gwen Stefani failed, I like to think "Weird Al" Yankovic helped by not only addressing spelling but grammar in general with his song 'Word Crimes'.
