Hi everybody
I want to compile a short list of genuine spelling traps for PROFESSIONAL translators and writers in English (i.e., not the typical ones recieve*, difference between effect and affect, etc). I haven\'t found anything at the professional level on the Internet (yet).
I want to compile a short list of genuine spelling traps for PROFESSIONAL translators and writers in English (i.e., not the typical ones recieve*, difference between effect and affect, etc). I haven\'t found anything at the professional level on the Internet (yet).
These are the ones I have come across:
accommodate
inoculate
supersede
desiccate
privilege
Can you add more? I can forward a list once completed to anyone who\'s interested.
Thanks in advance!
MORE:
imminent
anaesthesia
abscess
allotted
battalion
cirrhosis
embarrass
idiosyncrasy
