Below vs Bellow

Please find bellow the description:

Did you notice that I made a spelling mistake? I found that I often write bellow instead of below, also in some official emails (e.g. please find bellow the attachment). The word below means underneath or toward a lower place (Dictionary), where as the word bellow means to roar or to shout in a deep voice (Dictionary). As both words are valid, our spelling suggester does not show any mistake while typing.

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.

Violet or Violate?

Recently while writing violate , I typed violet . Because these words are similar and I type very fast, I often end up typing violet even when I am trying to type violate . Violet is a colour while violate means break or fail to comply with (a rule or formal agreement), treat (something sacred) with irreverence or disrespect or rape or sexually assault (someone).

Is it enquiry or inquiry?

British English uses both ‘enquiry’ and ‘inquiry’, but not in the same way as American English, which favors the ‘i’ spelling only. Enquiry - ‘To enquire’ means to request information/look into. From this comes the noun ‘a/the enquiry’ Inquiry - This is favored in English only when talking of investigations. via Janmejay Pati
