Google reveals 'America's Most Misspelled Words'
People in Florida are checking their "receipt." Some in New Hampshire aren't feeling great about "diarrhea." Wisconsinites are wondering about "Wisconsin."
Just how the heck do you spell "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"? People in Connecticut and West Virginia want to know.
Google Trend has released its list of "America's Most Misspelled Words," tweeting a graphic Tuesday with the top searches for "how to spell" so far in 2017.
Some of the takeaways from the map:
- Most people are having trouble with medium-length words. Thirty-nine states' top searches are for words that are six to 10 letters long.
- The nation's smallest state one of two states struggling with a four-letter words. Rhode Island is looking up "liar," while Georgia wants to know about "gray" (or is grey?).
- "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," at 34 letters, is the longest word on the map, with both Connecticut and West Virginia residents searching for it.
- Texans and Missourians are tied for the second-longest word -- each checking their work on "maintenance."
- The most common query is "beautiful," leading the way for New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota and California.
With the National Spelling Bee underway in Washington D.C., maybe Americans can get some help without a search engine.
