Spell it right \(^_^)/


Many people like to spell certain words incorrectly. Perhaps, they do it intentionally or unintentionally. Some people don’t really bother about this situation especially for non-English speakers. However, I think it’s better to maintain a true and correct a wrong.

There are a few examples that I could recognize based on my experiences.  

Fiancé vs. fiancée
Fiance - is the man you plan to marry
Fiancee - is the woman you plan to marry
The words above always been misused by some people because they like to use fiancee to represent both genders.

Weeding vs. Wedding
Apart from that, people also tend to write wedding as weeding.
Weed – is a wild plant growing where it is not wanted that prevents crops or garden flowers from growing properly therefore, weeding means to remove unwanted plants from a garden or other place.

Wedding – is a marriage ceremony.

Weather vs. Whether
Weather – is the temperature and other conditions such as sun, rain and wind
Whether – is used when talking about choice you have to make or about something that is not certain (Longman Dictionary, 2003).
