About this episode

Let’s face it. English spelling is weird. Sometimes you spell a ‘ch’ sound with a C-H, like in cheese, and sometimes you spell it with a T-U, like in Tuesday. If bird is spelled B-I-R-D, why isn’t word spelled W-I-R-D? Have you had enough of all these unusual spellings? But what if I told you that there is a list of the 100 most commonly misspelt words in English, and once you’ve learnt them, you’ll be able to spell pretty much anything? Well... Take a listen of this week's Everyday English with E2 episode to find out!
