Well, thanks a lot for the report, Olivia! I bet none of those words were even part of the competition there. Google released the map during the 90 th Scripps National Spelling Bee. In Delaware and Indiana the winning word is “ hallelujah.” And people in Arizona and Colorado most often Google the spelling for “tomorrow.” Guess they need to go to spelling school!Īnother word on Google’s America’s Most Misspelled Words map is " Chihuahua." That one covers the states of South Carolina and Arizona. People there have trouble with the word “college.” I’m not sure if that one is even in most dictionaries!Īnother sort-of funny misspelling came from South Dakota.

It comes from a song in the movie Mary Poppins. Well, probably the most famous is “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” It is a made up word - 34 letters long - and it is the longest word on Google’s map. So, what are some of the words you think are understandably difficult to spell? I’ll spell it for you: W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N! Tell us…what was the most commonly searched for spelling in Wisconsin.


I don’t think you can make fun of anyone having trouble with that word.īut, Olivia, there is one state that is probably getting some friendly teasing about its word.

Plus, it is easy to mix up the order of “n-e-u.” Many people say the word like that first misspelling “bee-you-tee-full.” And the second one was so close to correct – just missing an “a.”Īnother word commonly misspelled is " pneumonia." Maine, Alabama, Michigan and Washington all have trouble with that one. But you might find it spelled B-I-U-T-I-F-U-L or B-E-U-T-I-F-U-L in New York, California, Ohio, Kentucky and Michigan! Those five states requested the spelling of beautiful from Google more than any other word. Of course! Let’s take a word that the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines as “very attractive in a physical way.” It is similar to pretty. Google examined the search term “how to spell.” The word that came up the most for each state became that state’s most commonly misspelled word. How in the world would Google find that out? Instead, the state is identified with the word its population seems to have difficulty spelling. Well, Google published a map that shows all of the states in America, but it does not include their names. So, Olivia has been hard at work in her three days here! She has written a piece about an unusual map of the United States. I am studying journalism at the University of Missouri. In the studio with me is Learning English intern Olivia.Ĭan you tell everybody where and what you are studying?
