    Now that Dr. Language has provided a one-stop cure for the plague of misspelling, here are the 100 words most often mispronounced English words ("mispronunciation" among them). There are spelling rules in English even if they are difficult to understand, so pronouncing a word correctly usually does help you spell it correctly. Several common errors are the result of rapid speech, so take your time speaking, correctly enunciating each word. Careful speech and avid reading are the best guides to correct spelling.

    Proper pronunciation. Some of the mispronounced or misspelt words and phrases can be quite appropriate like "Old-timer's disease."

    People who resist the natural change of languages are fools. If such folks were to have their way throughout history, none of the romance languages would likely even exist.

    From the page: "It isn't clear why we say, ''Mind your Ps and Qs'' when we have more difficulty keeping up with our Ls and Rs." Mind your P's and Q's comes from pubs, when there would be a brawl. The P's and Q's being pints and quarts. But don't quote me on that.
