Let’s just say it’s a good thing spell check and auto correct exist, because, especially after Matt Hall and I absolutely BOMBED our mini spelling bee on air this morning, it’s well needed in this world. In honor of last night’s national spelling bee, Google released a list of the MOST misspelled words by state.
I think my favorite one is that Alaska has a hard time spelling Hawaii! Like, c’mon guys, you’re both states. At least get THAT right! Even I can spell Hawaii! Apparently all the flowers in Hawaii don’t go towards JUST leis because they can’t spell “boutineer.” In Illinois, we have a hard time appreciating the correct spelling of the word “appreciate.”
