Top 25 Confusing Words

Hi Keith,

   I was looking at the list and I still have trouble with some of these! Every so often I will be typing away and I will have to stop and think and figure out if I have the word right. I do not blame the boys at all for getting frustrated with these words.

Confusion--that's it.!..Honestly, sometimes I also got confused with those words. We should try to understand the boys and help them to understand too the meaning of each words that made them confuse.

I agree with everyone else. I still have problems with some of those words too.

Earlier, I read articles in msnbc.com and nytimes.com relating to grammar. One NYT writer misused cite-site-sight. So, it's not just the kids, even adults commit these mistakes.

Achieving proficiency in the English language or any language for that matter is a lifelong learning. Practice and perseverance are key.

Thanks; Even us (adult) we have some difficulties in this; for example my students always try to correct my board writing, to show that they are smart!!!
So this is not about the boys every human brain make those mistakes;

Thanks again!

yes i totally agree with the rest of you. These words are really confusing that even us, adults could still make some errors.

We tend to use the wrong word especially when we only heard it from someone else like dictations. We write and spell the word based from what we heard. If the pronunciation of the speaker is not so clear, it is more likely that we write the wrong word.

Those words are really confusing but with practice and constant reading I know our kids will learn what words to use. They might be able to say it correctly but not able to spell it correctly. What other words are there that are still confusing even to us adults?

Deer Keith,
