Dig, Digg, Dug, Digging, and Digged are all very confusing ways to dig a reading material in your hands.
Let’s dissect this complex English word.
“Dig” is the official word for all types of digging. Of course, it means to shovel out some dirt from the ground or anything of similar nature.
“Digg”, on the other hand, does not mean anything. There’s a social network called, “Digg“, but technically, “Digg” has nothing to do with the word “Dig”. In essense, Digg.com is simply abusing our English language with an extra g.
Of course, when you start adding some action and start “Digging” or have “Digged”, the extra g always comes into effect.
Digging is the action of Dig. It’s also known as an action to vote on the popular social networking site, Digg.
Again, please don’t confuse Dig and Digg, they are different things. Dig is a word in the dictionary and Digg is a new word, probably to be added later down the road.
Now, you have two choices for past tense of Dig, which are “Dug” or “Digged”.
“Dugg”, on the other hand, is a past-tense for “Digg”.
When you start digging the roots of “Dig”, you will probably get more confused than not but still, it’s a fun thing to do when you are Digging on Digg.
Now, please digg this story, I am tired of digging dig.

Jewelry or Jewellery both come from the word, “Jewel”, meaning a personal ornament such as rings, necklaces, etc…etc…
Jewery actually means nothing but it’s probably closer to the actual pronounciation than both jewelry and jewellery.
Did you know that German translation of Jewelry is “Schmuck”. Schmuck also means foreskin of the penis in English according to the Urban Dictionary.
Of course, we all know what a real “schmuck” is, just don’t be one.
Jewelry is one of the hardest and common misspelled word of the English language.
Let’s take a look at some other typos for Jewelry.
Jewelery is probably most common misspelling for Jewellery.
The funny thing is that a Jeweler, someone who sells Jewellery, is spelled with only one L, unlike its counterpart sister. In some countries other than the US, it’s also okay to spell Jeweler with an extra L, hence “Jeweller”.
I mean, how confusing can it get?
Now I have you confused about Jewelry and Jewellery, I want you to not forget to spell them right.
I find that the best way to spell Jewellery is with the short version, Jewelry. Simply spell “Jewery” with an extra L.
There, I made it simpler for you, or did I?

A lot of times, people from U.S. and U.K. get confused with theaters and theatres.
Which one is correct spelling?
Theater means the following according to thefreedictionary.com:
1. a building designed for the performance of plays, operas, etc.
2. a large room or hall with tiered seats for an audience: a lecture theatre
3. a room in a hospital equipped for surgical operations
4. the theatre drama and acting in general
5. a region in which a war or conflict takes place: a potential theatre of war close to Russian borders
6. US, Austral, & NZ same as cinema (sense 1) [Greek theatron]
1. A building, room, or outdoor structure for the presentation of plays, films, or other dramatic performances.
2. A room with tiers of seats used for lectures or demonstrations: an operating theater at a medical school.
3.
a. Dramatic literature or its performance; drama: the theater of Shakespeare and Marlowe.
b. The milieu of actors and playwrights.
4.
a. The quality or effectiveness of a theatrical production: good theater; awful theater.
b. Dramatic material or the use of such material: “His summation was a great piece of courtroom theater” Ron Rosenbaum.
5. The audience assembled for a dramatic performance.
6. A place that is the setting for dramatic events.
7. A large geographic area in which military operations are coordinated: the European theater during World War II.
The verdict?
Well, theater and theatre are pretty much the same thing. Most Americans would spell it “theater” while the English would spell it “theatre”.
What is the best way to spell it?
Personally, I think the correct spelling should be internationalized as “theater” as it’s the closest spelling to the actual pronounciation.
I mean, it IS confusing to people learning English, trying to pronounce “theatre” rather than “theater”.
Just don’t spell it “theator” or “thaeter”.

Welcome to the Mispelling Blog.
For our very first post, we will look at different ways people misspell “Google”. (Believe it or not, most people also misspell the word, “misspell”.)
Here’s our list of different ways Googled can be misspelled:
Google - The Correct one
Goole - Someone forgot the middle g, Goole is actually a name of a town in United Kingdom.
Gooogle - Google with an extra o, it looks like Google has bought Gooogle.com and Gooogle.com redirects to Google.com
oogle - Yes, some people even miss the first capital G. You can check out the urban dictionary for common uses of the word, “Oogle” such as a “poser” or love search on Google.
Toogle - Believe it or not, some people will mistype the first letter of Google. Toogle.com is an image search using Google images.
Foogle - Foogle is a polite alternative to “Fuck” according to the urban dictionary.
Voogle - No real meaning for this guy.
Boogle - There a free online word game called, Boogle.
Hoogle - A lot of people are using “Oogle” as part of their name for their search engines including this Hoogle, a The Haskell API Search Engine.
Yoogle - Yoogle means nothing, just another misspelling for “Google”.
Googl - Googl is another mispelling for Google without the e.
Googe - BARNABY (BARNABE) GOOGE, an English poet and translator, is the closest thing to what Googe means.
Goog - Goog is the stock symbol for Google’s public stocks.
Now, we are pretty sure there are probably dozens more of Google misspellings but we won’t get into all that today.
What’s our suggestion for name change for Google (if they ever do change it?) ?
It’d be GOOG, a lot shorter without the LE.
