			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dig, Digg, Dug, Digging, and Digged are all very confusing ways to dig a reading material in your hands.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s dissect this complex English word.</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dig">Dig</a>&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>&#8220;Digg&#8221;, on the other hand, does not mean anything.  There&#8217;s a social network called, &#8220;<a href="http://digg.com">Digg</a>&#8220;, but technically, &#8220;Digg&#8221; has nothing to do with the word &#8220;Dig&#8221;.  In essense, <a href="http://Digg.com">Digg.com</a> is simply abusing our English language with an extra g.</p>
<p>Of course, when you start adding some action and start &#8220;Digging&#8221; or have &#8220;Digged&#8221;, the extra g always comes into effect.</p>
<p>Digging is the action of Dig.  It&#8217;s also known as an action to vote on the popular social networking site, <a href="http://Digg.com">Digg</a>.</p>
<p>Again, please don&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Now, you have two choices for past tense of Dig, which are &#8220;Dug&#8221; or &#8220;Digged&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dugg&#8221;, on the other hand, is a past-tense for &#8220;Digg&#8221;.</p>
<p>When you start digging the roots of &#8220;Dig&#8221;, you will probably get more confused than not but still, it&#8217;s a fun thing to do when you are Digging on <a href="http://Digg.com">Digg</a>.</p>
<p>Now, please digg this story, I am tired of digging dig.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jewelry or Jewellery both come from the word, &#8220;Jewel&#8221;, meaning a personal ornament such as rings, necklaces, etc&#8230;etc&#8230;</p>
<p>Jewery actually means nothing but it&#8217;s probably closer to the actual pronounciation than both jewelry and jewellery.</p>
<p>Did you know that German translation of Jewelry is &#8220;Schmuck&#8221;.  Schmuck also means foreskin of the penis in English <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shmuck">according to the Urban Dictionary</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, we all know what a real &#8220;schmuck&#8221; is, just don&#8217;t be one.</p>
<p>Jewelry is one of the hardest and common misspelled word of the English language.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some other typos for Jewelry.</p>
<p>Jewelery is probably most common misspelling for Jewellery.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s also okay to spell Jeweler with an extra L, hence &#8220;Jeweller&#8221;.</p>
<p>I mean, how confusing can it get?</p>
<p>Now I have you confused about Jewelry and Jewellery, I want you to not forget to spell them right.</p>
<p>I find that the best way to spell Jewellery is with the short version, Jewelry.  Simply spell &#8220;Jewery&#8221; with an extra L.</p>
<p>There, I made it simpler for you, or did I?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of times, people from U.S. and U.K. get confused with theaters and theatres.</p>
<p>Which one is correct spelling?</p>
<p>Theater means the following <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/theatre">according to thefreedictionary.com</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="ds-list">1. a building designed for the performance of plays, operas, etc.</div>
<div class="ds-list">2. a large room or hall with tiered seats for an audience: <span class="illustration">a lecture theatre</span></div>
<div class="ds-list">3. a room in a hospital equipped for surgical operations</div>
<div class="ds-list">4. the theatre drama and acting in general</div>
<div class="ds-list">5. a region in which a war or conflict takes place: <span class="illustration">a potential theatre of war close to Russian borders</span></div>
<div class="ds-list">6. <em>US, Austral, &amp; NZ</em> same as cinema (sense 1) [Greek <em>theatron</em>]</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="ds-list">
</div>
<div class="ds-list"></div>
<div class="ds-list">and Theatre means the following <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/theater">according to the freedictionary.com</a>:</div>
<div class="ds-list"></div>
<blockquote><p>1.  A building, room, or outdoor structure for the presentation of plays, films, or other dramatic performances.<br />
2. A room with tiers of seats used for lectures or demonstrations: an operating theater at a medical school.<br />
3.<br />
a. Dramatic literature or its performance; drama: the theater of Shakespeare and Marlowe.<br />
b. The milieu of actors and playwrights.<br />
4.<br />
a. The quality or effectiveness of a theatrical production: good theater; awful theater.<br />
b. Dramatic material or the use of such material: &#8220;His summation was a great piece of courtroom theater&#8221; Ron Rosenbaum.<br />
5. The audience assembled for a dramatic performance.<br />
6. A place that is the setting for dramatic events.<br />
7. A large geographic area in which military operations are coordinated: the European theater during World War II.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>The verdict?</strong></p>
<p>Well, theater and theatre are pretty much the same thing.  Most Americans would spell it &#8220;theater&#8221; while the English would spell it &#8220;theatre&#8221;.</p>
<p>What is the best way to spell it?</p>
<p>Personally, I think the correct spelling should be internationalized as &#8220;theater&#8221; as it&#8217;s the closest spelling to the actual pronounciation.</p>
<p>I mean, it IS confusing to people learning English, trying to pronounce &#8220;theatre&#8221; rather than &#8220;theater&#8221;.</p>
<p>Just don&#8217;t spell it &#8220;theator&#8221; or &#8220;thaeter&#8221;.</p>

Welcome to the Mispelling Blog.

<p>Welcome to the Mispelling Blog.</p>
<p>For our very first post, we will look at different ways people misspell &#8220;Google&#8221;.  (Believe it or not, most people also misspell the word, &#8220;misspell&#8221;.)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s our list of different ways Googled can be misspelled:</p>
<p><strong>Google - The Correct one</strong></p>
<p><strong>Goole</strong> - Someone forgot the middle g, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goole">Goole is actually a name of a town in United Kingdom</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Gooogle</strong> - Google with an extra o, it looks like Google has bought Gooogle.com and Gooogle.com redirects to Google.com</p>
<p><strong>oogle</strong> - Yes, some people even miss the first capital G.  You can check out <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?defid=1023866&amp;term=Oogle">the urban dictionary for common uses of the word, &#8220;Oogle&#8221;</a> such as a &#8220;poser&#8221; or love search on Google.</p>
<p><strong>Toogle</strong> - Believe it or not, some people will mistype the first letter of Google.  <a href="http://c6.org/toogle/">Toogle.com</a> is an image search using Google images.</p>
<p><strong>Foogle</strong> - <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=foogle">Foogle is a polite alternative to &#8220;Fuck&#8221; according to the urban dictionary</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Voogle</strong> - No real meaning for this guy.</p>
<p><strong>Boogle</strong> - There a free online word game called, <a href="http://cognitial.com/boogle/index.htm">Boogle</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Hoogle</strong> - A lot of people are using &#8220;Oogle&#8221; as part of their name for their search engines including this <a href="http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/">Hoogle, a The Haskell API Search Engine</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Yoogle</strong> - Yoogle means nothing, just another misspelling for &#8220;Google&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Googl</strong> - Googl is another mispelling for Google without the e.</p>
<p><strong>Googe</strong> - <a href="http://googe.com/">BARNABY (BARNABE) GOOGE, an English poet and translator</a>, is the closest thing to what Googe means.</p>
<p><strong>Goog</strong> - <a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:GOOG">Goog is the stock symbol for Google&#8217;s public stocks</a>.</p>
<p>Now, we are pretty sure there are probably dozens more of Google misspellings but we won&#8217;t get into all that today.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s our suggestion for name change for Google (if they ever do change it?) ?</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>It&#8217;d be GOOG, a lot shorter without the LE.</strong></em></p>
