CAUSES/REASONS FOR MISPELLED WORDS

Mispronunciation
Mispronunciation is known to be one of the most common causes of
misspelling. Hence, phonetic misspelling is common, once a word is
mispronounced. For example, the word realize may be misspelled as "relize".

Typing errors
Some spelling errors are introduced because the typing of certain people is
not perfect, such as

 letters are doubled, or more frequently double letters tripled, such as

"betwween" and "betweeen"
 letters are singled, such as "betwen"
 keys are transposed, so "because" becomes "becuase".

Some of the errors listed may be due to mistyping rather than ignorance, for
example "solider" for "soldier".

These misspellings rarely happen in handwritten text.

Homophones
Two (or more) differently spelled words with different meanings
are homophones if they are nonetheless pronounced the same; e.g.,
"right", "rite", "wright", and "write"; "read" and "reed"; "read" (past, past
participle) and "red". This list includes only a few homophones although
incorrect use of homophones is a very common error.

Personal names
Personal names and surnames may be pronounced like a standard English
word, but with different spelling: "balance" and "John Ballance"; "war" and
"Evelyn Waugh"; "marshal" and "George Marshall". Personal names do, of
course, generally start with a capital letter.

Foreign writers
A misspelling in English might be made by someone used to a different
spelling in another language; for example, "address" is translated "adresse"
in French and German. Many Spanish words are similar or identical to English
words, but with an "n" inserted, or replacing an "m", leading to errors:
"inmigrant" from "inmigrante", "cementery" from "cementerio", "confortable"
instead of "comfortable". The English word 'lose' reasonably looks like it
should be pronounced as 'lose' to Germans, as in German the lone 's' often
has the sound of an English 'z', and a lone 'o' in English very seldom has the
'oo' sound.
Apostrophes
There can be confusion over a plural possessive form. If the singular is
"book's title" and the plural "books' titles", the latter can appear as "book's",
or even "books's". The plural can be written with an erroneous
apostrophe. Elision can lead to misspelling: "doesn't", where the apostrophe
represents the elided "o", can be misspelled "does'nt".
