Is it desperate or desparate, seperate or separate, dessert or desert? Here are a few tips for getting commonly misspelled words right:
- Desperate – The desperado is desperate.
- Separate - Think “apart” and that ‘a’ after the ‘p’ will feel like a natural choice
- Dessert – Think “strawberry shortcake” for dessert
- Inoculate – YourDictionary.com says that this sounds like a shot in the eye and that one ‘n’ is enough.
- Twelfth – Think of an elf with a lisp.
