In English? Are you serious? Nany Nahnny Nanee Nahnnee Nannee Neini Nani Among others. Are you not aware too many people believe T-H-A-N is spelled T-H-E-N? Quick, how do you pronounce this word: G-H-O-T-I. Actually, it's pronounced the same as F-I-S-H. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5106 | I use google sometimes to check spelling, but since an auto-correct feature kicks in by merely entering the word you want to check, I never go so far as to include "how do you spell" as part of my search. So google, I assume, does not know what words I need to check. So I just wonder about the accuracy of this. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | The word 'lose' isn't there? C'mon, just today I've seen it spelled 'loose' twice. The person who did the list probably thinks 'loose' is correct. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Wisconsin is not the most commonly misspelled word in Wisconsin. It is the word that most people look for the spelling. And as was pointed out, I never type "How do you spell Wisconsin". I always simply type "Wisconsin" and see if google corrects it or not. But google doesn't know if I am checking spelling or trying to read factoids about the state. |

Google hasn't been completely consistent with their Wisconsin data. |

Well in Mississippi they tend to spell it "mammy". The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |
