NOTE: Any spell-check program ought to catch most of these for you. However, the wisest course is to master them yourself.

注意：任何拼寫檢查程序都應該能發現其中大部分錯誤。但最明智的做法是自己掌握它們。

For fun, I did a search for the incorrect version of nine of the ten. I didn’t bother with Number 7because bothitsandit’sare valid spellings. The number of hits for the misspellings is shown in parentheses. Some refer to intentional misspellings on English sites like this one, but not all.

出于樂趣，我搜索了10個錯誤拼寫中的9個。我沒有搜第7個是因為its和it’s都是正确的拼寫。括号中是錯誤拼寫的搜索結果數。其中部分錯誤是像這個網站中出現的那樣，屬于有目的的拼寫錯誤，但并非所有都如此。

1.argument(“arguement” 730,000)

The verb isargue, but the noun isargument.

動詞是argue，但名詞是argument。

2.calendar(“calender” 29,600,000)

The register on which you schedule your appointments is spelledcalendar. Yes, there is a specialized term spelledcalenderthat refers to paper production, but I doubt that it accounts for millions of uses.

用來記錄約會的登記簿拼作calendar。的确，有一個拼作calender（意思是砑光機）的造紙行業術語，但我懷疑數以百萬計搜索結果恐怕不會都來自這麼偏僻的單詞。

3.cemetery(“cemetary”185,000,000)

There are threee’s incemetery. Nary anain sight.

Cemetery中有3個e，沒有a。

4.definite(“definate” 539,000)

Think,finite,infinite,infinity. Look at all thosei’s. Noa’s anywhere indefinite.

想想finite、infinite和infinity。看看這些i。Definite裡沒有a。

5.finally(“finaly” 1,450,000)

The adjective isfinal. The adverb isfinally. Double thatlinfinally.

形容詞是final，副詞是finally。L要寫兩遍。

6.forty(“fourty” 783,000)

One less than five is spelledfour. One more than thirty-nine is spelledforty.

5 – 1 = 4（four），39 1 = 40（forty）。

7.its(possessive adjective)

The problem with this habitual misspelling is that bothitsandit’sare English spellings.It’sis a contraction of the words “It is.”Itsis a possessive adjective, likehis. The best advice is to spell out “it is” when that is your meaning. You cannot rely on grammar/spell checkers to catch this one. Indeed, Word often advises me to write “it’s” when the context calls forits.

對于這個經常拼錯的單詞，問題在于its和it’s都是英語中正确的拼寫。It’s是it is的縮寫。像his一樣，its則是所有格形容詞。最好的建議是當你想用it’s時把它寫成it is。你不能依賴語法或拼寫檢查程序來發現這個錯誤。事實上，Word經常在文中應該出現its的時候建議我寫it’s。

8.separate(“seperate” 31,700,000)

Take the word by syllables:sep-a-rate. Yes, we pronounce it [sep-uh-ret], but we spell itsep-a-rate. Look for “a rat” in sep.a.rat.e.

把這個詞按音節劃分：sep-a-rate。我們的确把它讀為[sep-uh-ret]，但拼寫則是sep-a-rate。在separate中有隻老鼠（a rat）。

9.tragedy(“tradgedy” 212,000)

Thegintragedyis soft. Theemakes thegsoft. No extrad, please.

Tragedy中的g發軟輔音，e讓g發軟輔音。請不要多加d。

小編注：g發硬輔音時，念作[g]，例如go；發軟輔音時，念作[dʒ]，例如gym。

10.truly(“truely” 62,600,000)

The adjective istrue. The adverb istruly.

形容詞是true。副詞是truly。
