TOP 100

This Friday's showcase of the top 100 misspelled words in the English language..

A LOT

There's allot (an allotment of goods) and a lot (many items) but there is no such word in the English language as alot.


alot

I'll get the simple one out of the way first. This screen was chosen from the many because it resides on the ABC's site, and the ABC prides itself on being a more intellectual channel than the rest.


alot


alot

Now for the pot of gold....  The image speaks for itself really.  This is the name of a business.

alot

ANZ

Damn, they didn't spell Mortgage wrong.

But getting Everyday wrong in a spot where it's seen everyday (like the title tag) makes up for it I think.

Everday Suggestions: Ever day, Ever-day, Everyday, Evert, Every
 (appears 1 times)

anually Suggestions: annually, anu ally, anu-ally, anally, manually
 (appears 1 times)

Everday  anually
