Do you have problems with English spelling? It’s notoriously difficult. And in many cases there is very little connection between the pronunciation of the word and the way it is written. But you aren’t the only ones who find it difficult.
A recent study has shown that native English speakers can’t spell either. More than two thousand people took part in the study and the findings were very interesting. Forty percent of the respondents could not spell the word “questionnaire”, 38% had trouble spelling “accommodate” and 37% also had problems spelling “definitely”. Other difficult words included “liaison” , “existence” and “occurrence”. Even relatively simple words such as “calendar”, “embarrass” , “library” and “receipt” caused difficulties.
