Even if we claim to be a language buff, there are some words we tend to misspell – and you can guarantee that at least one of them which plagues you when you write is in this quiz. In fact, one commonly misspelled word is the word "misspell" itself!

For many words, you have to remember the 'i' before 'e' except after 'c' rule. This applies to words such as believe, fierce, and receive.

Remember that the single word 'alot' does not exist. With a little care and mindfulness, we can all spell better.
