¿Question #2476?
puffinge: Which English word do you see misspelled more than any other?

coldpaws: definite (mispelled as defiant)
Shleeg: humon
Felimid: Depends on whether you mean American English (which I speak/write/read) or the Queen's English (which I read). In either case, I would probably say "misspell" is at the top of the list, along with errors like "it's" (as possessive) instead of "its", and putting "an" in front of a word starting with a consonantal sound ("an history" instead of "a history", for instance).
