Spelling Bee

Style exercise. What an enjoyable assignment! For me it was also an excellent opportunity to practice, practice, practice my writing and ...well, yes, my spelling too. In my story I used the word exercise several times. I misspelled this one word many times!
Here are ten words. I am sure you know them all. They are frequently used ... and commonly misspelled. Let's have a look.
  • accidentally : unintentionally, by chance
  • conscience : morals
  • conscientious : careful, thorough, reliable
  • exhilarate : make happy, delight, thrill
  • parliament: congress
  • occasionally : sometimes
  • pronunciation : articulation
  • miscellaneous : assorted, diverse
  • thorough : complete, entire
  • questionnaire: survey

Bad news: there are more words out there, which can cause you trouble.

Good news: (besides that God loves you) with enough practice, no words can cause you trouble.

Have a good workout!
