The Most Misspelled Word in Michigan is Definitely This!

Truth be known, I'm not a very good speller. I'm a lot better than I used to be but still struggle sometimes with crazy words.

How about you? How's your spelling?

Wordunscrambler.pro took a survey using Google Trends searches of "how do you spell" and came up with an interesting list of Michigan's and America's most misspelled words, finding out most of us are pretty lousy at speling.....err.....spelling!

What word do you think was number one? Do you think you definitely know?

You are on the right track because DEFINITELY is the most misspelled word when Michiganders and all across the U.S., asked Google "how do you spell definitely."

Interestingly, Google Trends found that Scratch was a top "how do you spell" word search here in Michigan as well. I can't even imagine how some of us are trying to spell it. Ha!

Let's face it, our American English is a tough language. We have so many silent letters in our words, such as scratch. There really is a T there.

So, what is happening with our spelling? Are we just getting dumber?

Not really. A spokesperson for Word Unscrambler said this:

"Availability of autocorrect in all devices results in misspelling common words like 'beautiful' or 'necessary'. Studies suggest heavy reliance on autocorrect weakens spelling skills over time. Some researchers call it digital amnesia. We simply forget things that we delegate to technology. Misspellings might be on the rise not because we know less, but because we need to know less."

Here are the top 10 most misspelled words in Michigan and the U.S. from Word Unscrambler

1. Definitely
