- Are you confident about spelling? In this video, you’ll find out the most common spelling mistakes people make, and some tips and tricks to help you avoid them.

Episode #91
TITLE: How to avoid common spelling mistakes.
Bad spelling makes you look bad. It makes you seem less intelligent than you are. So it’s worth making an effort to improve your spelling. I’m going to talk about some of the most common mistakes people make and give you some memory hooks to help you remember the right ones.
Do you know the formal word for a memory hook-a system used to help you remember things-such as spellings, for example? That word is in discussed in the video-because it too is an example of a word that’s commonly misspelled.
You will also learn about six words that people spell incorrectly because they pronounce them incorrectly. Starting with the word ‘pronunciation’.
There are some words that are misspelled because they are actually two words that people have joined together by mistake. I’ll give you a couple of examples in the video.

Last day during my daughter's online English class the teacher asked the students to watch videos of "The English Nut " and my daughter proudly replied that she has been already watching and following The English Nut. 👍
That's wonderful to know! :)
ME TO
@@shalinibavindla498 this is just ironic lmao! I hope you did it on purpose, because it made me laugh a lot!!!
(And if you did not, it is me "too" and not me to, because too means to be alike or in addition to something. {I like the English Nut too!} while to is often a preposition or adverb. {Subscribe to the English Nut})
But I have a strong feeling you did this on purpose... XD
A lot of people do this too so... I'll just put this out here.
@@hxL2_elisa wtf are you on about? 😂
@@manishsirmour3599 the difference
between "to" and "too"... I never actually correct someone's english on a normal video, but since we are here to learn english i decided to sprinkle a little bit of knowledge because these errors are very common! XD
"Never beLIEve a LIE" is the mnemonic taught by my teacher to spell "believe" correctly.
Useful!
Thanks it will be helpful for me
That's why it's always better to know than to believe blindly 😉!
To make the 'ee' sound in English, many words use 'ie'. Believe, relief, and field to cite as a few examples. This agreement is, however, changed when the preceding letter is 'C'. The combination then becomes 'ei'. Hence, Deceive, receive, and perceive.
Exceptions to the second agreement can, however, be seen in words like seize.
Pronunciation - think of a nun 😂😂
Occasion - sion
Separate - apart
Definitely - nobody ate it 😂😂
Accommodation - two children, two moms
Grammar - if you need good marks 😂
Independent - ants aren't independent 🤣🤣🤣
You had me in splits 😂😂🙏🙏
Thanks, man!
:D Hope they are helpful too!
@@TheEnglishNut hahaha yes, all the more 😂
I remember memorizing 'together' as 'to get her'.
Good ideas to remember staying 'independent' from errors...
Society/Receive/Believe/Friend- The 'ie' sounds confuse, while writing and auto correct, corrects them.
Very true
Once I was told that except (like 'society' above) for few words when we have "S" sound we get "ei" and in all other cases we get "ie".
In school our English teacher taught us to remember "week" and "weak" as "week" is fit with both legs but "weak" is injured as it's missing a leg. I still feel for the poor "weak". :(
😄
I always spell committee wrong, and have to use dictionaries and theasauruses to get it right and choose an alternative respectively! Hearty thanks, English Nut!!
While learning writing the confusing letter in capital also helps
One of the most useful videos on English I've watched. Thank you, English nut!
Too good a video. It took me back to my school days. A mnemonic that our English teacher had taught us to remember the spelling of POSSESSION is: "Possession possesses 4Ses".
Thanks a lot for enlightening us with new words and making English more interesting.. Many thanks.
Thanks for yet another informative & fun video 😊👍
My memory on spellings had faded, ever since I started using smartphone shortcut texting. This video was a refresher..Appreciate!
TEN, you are indeed brilliant. I love the method of co-relation you use to avoid spelling mistakes!
Thanks a lot :) I Love your videos a lot. Hoping to see many more videos from your side.
After watching this video I remembered one funny incident that My lecturer shared with us. He used to say "privilege" is the most "unprivileged" word as many misspell it while writing.
Highly informative video!! Plz continue with this topic!!
'Veterinary' is another word people often misspell and also mispronounce. They spell Vete(i)nary and pronounce it that way.
Superb mnemonics to remember word spellings.
Too much helpful. Hope you make another video on spelling mistakes.
An excellent video Sir 👏👏👏 You gave us not only an insight into spellings but "diction" as well. Your simple tips and tricks go the extra mile in helping us become more confident speakers 😁
I was misspelling a lot of words. Thank you for your efforts. Can you please make a video on how to improve communication skills?
Thank you so much. You've covered most of the spelling mistakes my students commonly make. And in such an interesting way!
You got the right words that confuse me !!!Too good!!!
The nun and habit relationship was surprising in this instance ;) !
Love your wonderful videos.
I suggest you make videos on daily use sentences ..people really like such content as it helps them become more comfortable in using the English language. For example, lingo used at workplaces, cafes, restaurants,etc. ✌🏼✌🏼
I enjoy every Video of you. I did not know the above sentence is right. Neighbour is always misspelled by me. And also correct my sentence if it is need. Thank you English Nut
The way you teach is simply fascinating.
Wow , Dear English Nut, you presentations are really awesome 😁👍
Thank you for the tips and tricks 👍
I'm often confused in spelling for necessary/necessity and recipient/receipt
Those are amazing tips, Sir. I am an IELTS trainer and am seeing spelling mistakes in the Writing Tasks all the time.I just forwarded this to my students. :-)
Thanks for forwarding it to your students!
Thanks a lot for this video.
Brilliant. Formulating a successful mnemonic device is not easy and all of these are superb. I have an uneasy feeling I have been misspelling minuscule but I won't any longer.
Quite good collection of knowledge
Thank you
Your mnemonics are too good to forget...thankyou . I have always had problem while writing the word friend, believe...etc., whether it is 'ie ' or 'ei' !!
I think u r wonderful...

Superb mnemonics..
🙏Thanks a lot Sir for saving me from misspelling the word "Rhythm" for eternity. 😊
Loved the video! Funny and informative👍
Wooowww fantastic..thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I remember my teacher telling us that a balloon has 2 lls and 2 oos which is why it is sooo inflated. When my daughter was in LKG, I had a tough time teaching her the spellings of the months.So, I told her to think of a girl called Janu who wants to buy some ary(rice in Malayalam) :-)
Good to have these mnemonics to help us get the spellings right! :)
Thanks a lot👍
Thank a lot
Thank you English Nut for this amazing video. I used to get confused about the spellings of Accommodation, Independent and Separate. I often felt ashamed of myself for making these mistakes.
Now I won't be .☺
Awesome!
Thanks a lot sir 🤗
Thanks a lot
Oh I loved it, please make more videos about the spellings
Thanks a lot. 😄
Thanks a lot 🥰👍
I absolutely love this a lot. Thank you.
:)
Very interesting 👌👍
That really helps
Couple more common mistakes:
1. -Fullfilled-
2. -Recieve-
3. -Souveniar-
Very interesting 👍
Words such as 'advise' and 'advice' are misspelled and misunderstood. Another misspelled word I can think of is 'vacuum'. Often it is misspelled as 'vaccum', or 'vaccuum'. I remember it since my high school days. Got a thrashing to misspell it. :P
Wondering if anyone came across a dilemma to choose between, 'he threatened me' and 'he frightened me'.
Well, calling for the attention of the nutty English professor to throw light upon the issue from his 'bard of English'-ish knowledge of free flowing English, just like his free-flowing hairs akin to the original English bard.
Great work there! You are fabulous! Keep up the good work. 👍
Hey, thanks for these interesting examples and thoughts! Will cover some of them. :)
Thanks
Thank you sir
It's Sunday morning at 9:00 am the first video I saw was yours. I like your TH-cam videos. To the exclusion of everything else grammar part of English has always been one of my favourites . I earnestly request you to make videos on hard English grammar as well.
Glad you do. Will do more. :)
Kindly make a video on how to differentiate where to use' c' and' k';
also s and z as in words like organizations or organisation.
Thanks a lot.. 🤘
I always feel enriched and delightful to watch your videos..thanks a ton 💐
Just a small request to go a bit slow so that we can reap the maximum benefit :)
That's awesome
Thanks a lot for such great mnemonics ❤
Welcome!
People should also remember that the 'English' mode of spelling is different from the American style, and the norm goes that one should stick to one particular style, and not mix up the same.
A separate video on the subtleties of the two styles would be welcome.
True! I have touched upon the topic here: th-cam.com/video/zNdGbqZkbr0/w-d-xo.html
Good mnemonic 👍
English nut is love 🥰😍
Thanks bossman
Can you explain some learning tips and tricks for synonyms????
നന്ദി ചേട്ടാ ❤️
This is so informative. 🤩
I didn't know that I was misspelling certain words. Alas! The autocorrect is spoiling me.
I should write everyday.
Thanks a lot and love your mnemonics!❤
Thank you! Yes, we must be vigilant. :)
as being a Maharashtrian I used to miss pronounce the letter m as yum as it was in my local language but with practice it changed
Sir can you help me out with some common mistakes while conversation. And tricks to make it a better conversation.
Thank you for this video.
thank you for this
Can you make a video on how to spell a word with 2 vowels together?
Sir your video not (vedio) is amazing it helped me a lot not (alot) I am very much excited for the next video
This was wonderful and helpful video but I use to get confused in most of the spelling in which "ie" or 'ei' comes in between any word. I hope it would be very helpful for the people like me if you will make a video on this topic!
I do have a video on this topic!
Sir please talk about spoonerism
Ty
You are Awesome, I appreciate your efforts. Kindly try to improve your audio quality
Thanks a lot for enriching our lives.
An info: I've taken a diploma course on Eng literature. Thanks to you, for spiking that interest in me.
Wonderful!
Can you do a video about Indian British American accents?
Nicely said, enjoyed... sharing too.
Have seen many using “upto” for “up to” and “cheif” for “chief” 😅
Upto is my pet peeve!
@@TheEnglishNut what's your pet?
Iam a big fan of yours and i am watching your videos from the beginning......♥️♥️KEEP GOING SIR...one day u will reach milestones...👍👍
Thank you so much!
This is the first video I watched...... It was just like wow..... 😍😍😍
Thanks. Keep watching! Do subscribe. :)
Surprising one for me was 'calendar'
I have been misspelling it as calender 😜
Loved the mnemonics suggested by you...I really get confused in dairy and diary 😝
And I find your videos lil fast paced. I literally run in my brain to grasp every single word of yours. However, I enjoy learning English with English nuts... looking forward for more 👍😇
Thank you so much!
Dairy has air in it. If people with lactose intolerance may feel bloated. Now you remember.
@@MallikaRaj 👍🏼 An excellent idea to overcome the confusion about thier spellings.
Thanks for this video, please make a video on pronunciation of some words like mobile(mobil), examine(examin), executive ( as execootive).. I have seen people saying them differently here in India. I think it's because British and American accent. If you could also elaborate it in your wonderful way. ✌🏻
Sure.
Sir, Really the way you speaking is sublime.
Thank you. :)
