		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;d like to add to your list the pair &quot;complEmentary&quot;/&quot;complImentary&quot;, very frequently misspelled in Journalese, perhaps because both share the same pronunciation. 

A few days ago, an ad offered a &quot;complimentary brochure&quot;. Literally taken, what you could expect of it was something telling very good things about you and accompanying best wishes. 
They probably meant &quot;complementary&quot;, which, in turn, could apply only if the ad lacked something substantial (grammatical correctness apart). They should have used the word &quot;supplementary&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FYI: Here&#039;s my list words that are often wrong.
Ceasar / Caesar
Seperation / Separation
Capuccino / Cappuccino
Expresso / Espresso

And, in Canada, we spell most words with an &quot;our&quot; instead of the American version of &quot;or&quot; such as colour and harbour.

My personal nemesis: Minute, even, stationary, stationery- (I really like the spell check feature.) :-)

Reply: Those are all good choices; whenever I see &lt;em&gt;separate &lt;/em&gt;spelled incorrectly, in my mind, I hear my elementary school teacher saying &lt;em&gt;Separate has A RAT in the middle&lt;/em&gt;!  I&#039;ve actually done a post on &lt;a href=&quot;http://languageandgrammar.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/the-ex-factor-misspellings-and-pronunciations/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;espresso/expresso &lt;/a&gt;and some other misspelled words that you might want to add to your list.]]></description>
