Advise as Advice

Today while I was typing advise, I typed advice. The spellchecker of the browser warned me that there is a spelling error. But my brain did not able to find where I made the mistake. And finally, I took help from the suggestions of the spelling checker of the browser.

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'.

Opinion as Openion

When I tried to type Opinion today, three time I typed Openion . First, I doubt on the spelling after 2 minutes, and then moved to Orkut scrapbook page (I need a text area on Firefox to check spellings by it's inbuilt spell checker). Then I came to know that I made that mistake. After that also, I tried to type it 2 more times, and typed Openion instead of Opinion , but this time I caught it while typing, before finishing the word.
