Are there words that you can never seem to remember how to spell? Most of us struggle with at least a few words. Spell check may catch them for you, but you can not always rely on spell check. Sometimes your spelling is so far off that even spell check can not figure it out.
I keep a list of the words I can never remember how to spell (such as “occurred”–is it one ‘r’ or two?) near my computer so I can refer to it when needed. I have expanded the list here to create a reference tool with some of the most commonly misspelled words.
Keeping this list near your computer, and referring to it often, will save you time and reduce your spelling errors when writing mystery shopping reports.

Note that this list is based on American spelling. There may be variations in the way some of these terms are spelled in other countries.
