20 misspekt words

A new study has found that 'separate' is the most commonly misspelt word in the English language.

The eight-letter word came top due to the regular placing of an 'E' where the first 'A' sits.

Second in the list was 'definitely', which often falls victim to a string of mistakes including mixing up the second 'I' with an 'A'. Another common error is dropping the final 'E'.
