The Island of Misspelled Words

Welcome to the Island of Misspelled Words.

This page is included primarily as a service to the many users of this site who do not use English as a first language. You are probably here because you entered a recognized misspelling into the search engine. Use the Ctrl-f facility on your browser to find the word you misspelled. The correct spelling is on the left. In some cases, we have provided a link to the main entry on the subject you may have been looking for.

Sources: If you're curious, PicoSearch provides us with a partial list of searches performed. The entries below are almost all actual misspellings entered into the search engine for this site. We are given no information about the identities of the persons entering the searches. So those who insist on searching for instances of their favorite scatological terms are free to continue this practice in complete anonymity. As of this date, at least, we compile no user data whatsoever on this site.

Variants: Of the primary authors, one of us speaks Texan, or Slurred Lower American with Negligible Grammer ("SLANG"). The other speaks Australian, or Anglogondwanan Pidgin English Mixed with Accidental Neologisms ("APEMAN"). Accordingly, we will sometimes supply alternate spellings in SLANG and APEMAN. ATW030118.
