Spelling Mistakes That Would Be Embarrassing

If there was a spelling mistake in the handmade wedding items... it would be embarrassing, right?

Anyone can make typos or misspell words (it's a common occurrence to type something wrong in LINE due to phone's predictive text), but at a special occasion like your wedding, it's best to be extra careful.

To avoid regret after the wedding when you see the data and think, "Oh..." or when a family member quietly tells you later.

Here are some examples of English spelling mistakes that I have seen in actual Instagram posts.

Something to Keep in Mind *

The reasons spelling mistakes happen include:

- Letters that look similar, like "R" and "P"

- Letters that sound similar, like "s" and "c"

- Order confusion, like "ie" and "ei"

- Pulling towards romanized spelling, like table to teble

- Confusion between similar-sounding words, like color (color) to collar (collar)

Many of the words that were incorrectly spelled exhibited these characteristics.

As an adult who has distanced from using English, there are surprisingly many simple words where you can understand the meaning but somewhat forget the spelling.

It is also possible that the posts by others you see on Instagram are incorrect, so I recommend checking with a dictionary thoroughly before doing your own DIY. *
