Verbiage as Verbage

Many people write Verbiage as Verbage. Verbage is a deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word "garbage". So next time, use the word Verbiage, not Verbage.

Analyzed as Analysed

I frequently commit this spelling mistake. Analyzed is the correct spelling as per US English. Most of the time, I write it as Analysed. This is wrong in US English. However this is the correct spelling in UK English. So, if you are communicating in US English, then you need to follow the first one. Analyzing is also for Analysing in US English.

Yacht or Yatch?

 Today, while working on a workout on the  Elevate app, I came across a word and I spelled it as Yatch. And it was wrong, obviously. I might have learned the correct spelling of Yacht when I was a kid. But over the years, I had remembered it as Yatch.  I guess it happened because I did not knew the correct pronunciation of the word. Instead of pronouncing it as  jɒt , I had alway pronounced it as  j atʃ , similar to 'match'.

Litre/Liter or Litter?

Litre/liter and Litter sounds so similar. But today I typed litter, when I wanted to type liter. Then I realised that I made some mistake and rectified it. Litter means trash, while liter/litre is a metric unit of capacity.
