According to wordadvisory.com (part of Encarta Webster's Dictionary), “separate” is one of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language, often spelled “seperate” instead. The reason that it’s so often misspelled is because the “uh” sound of separate (and definitely, also often misspelled) can be denoted by a, e, i, o or u. (around, item, edible, done, thumb).
