Experts from WordUnscrambler.pro have revealed the UK's most misspelled words – with a surprising term at the top of the list. 'Surprisingly most of the United Kingdom's misspelled words searched are not errors in spelling but alternative standard forms of British vs American English,' an expert from WordUnscrambler.pro explained. 'We found that many searches revolved around how to spell words in Ireland, Canada, America, UK and Australia. Other words that had Brits turning to Google included 'jewellery' (56,400 searches), 'definitely' (53,00 searches), 'queue' (22,800 searches), and 'necessary' (23,000 searches). 'Several commonly searched words like business definitely and necessary are frequently misspelled because English spelling does not consistently match pronunciation,' the expert explained.
