English Catastrophes: SPELLING GONE WRONG


These are just some words that are usually misspelled. Remember, misused or misspelled words can be a big embarrassment , and can be a stain in our reputation. :)

1. ACCOMMODATE - Remember, this word is large enough to accommodate both double "c" AND a double "m".
2. BROCCOLI - You don't have to like broccoli to spell it correctly woth two Cs and one L.
3. COMMITTED - If you are committed to correct spelling, you will remember that this word doubles its final "t" from "commit" to "committed".
4. EMBARRASS - This one won' t embarrass you if you remember that it is large enough for a double "r" and a double "s".

English Catastrophes: Idiom Blunders



The English languange can be tricky. Even native speakers commit mistakes but that is not an excuse for us to be sloppy and unmindful on how we use the universal languange. Remember, misuse of words, phrases, misspellings, and other grammatical errors can put you in an embarrassing moment or even worse, hurt your image and reputation.

Take a look at these common English slip-ups and don't let yourself be cornered in a funny situation!

IDIOM BLUNDERS

You Say: The more the many-er
What You Really Mean: The more, the merrier

Don't be confused with this cliche as this only means that the more people there are, the happier the situation will be, unless you want to be funny. :)

You Say: A blessing in the skies
What You Really Mean: A blessing in disguise
