Have you ever typed scraped when you really meant scrapped — or vice versa? You’re not alone! These two words look almost identical, sound very similar, and both come from verbs that deal with “removing” or “getting rid of” something. But here’s the twist: “scraped” and “scrapped” actually have completely different meanings and are used…
Ever noticed how similar “since” and “sense” sound? It’s no wonder people often mix them up — especially when typing fast or learning English. Although they look alike, “since” and “sense” have completely different meanings and functions in grammar. One is a time-related connector (used in phrases like since 2020), while the other deals with…
Ever typed “truely” and paused, thinking — wait, is that right? 😅 You’re not alone. “Truely” looks like it should be correct because many English words ending in “-e” keep that “e” when adding “-ly” (like safe → safely). That’s exactly why people confuse “truely” and “truly.” Although they sound identical, only one is correct…
Ever seen someone write “hustle” and someone else write “hussle” — and wondered which one’s right? 🤔 It’s a super common mix-up, especially online, where slang and names often influence spelling. Although “hustle” and “hussle” sound identical, only one of them is correct in standard English — and the other gained attention for a very…
Have you ever stopped mid-sentence wondering — is it “connector” or “connecter”? 🤔Both look right at first glance, and both relate to something that links or joins two things together.

Have you ever wondered whether to write “momma” or “mama” when referring to your mother? 🤔You’ve probably seen both spellings in books, songs, and social media — and yes, they sound exactly the same when spoken.

Have you ever paused before typing “pronounciation” and wondered if it looks right? 😅You’re not alone — this is one of the most commonly misspelled words in English! Both “pronounciation” and “pronunciation” sound similar, and many assume that since the verb is “pronounce,” the noun should logically be “pronounciation.” But here’s the truth: only one…
Have you ever seen someone write “accel” when they meant “excel” (or vice versa)? 🤔It’s an easy mistake — they sound almost the same, both suggest speed or success, and both are used in professional or tech contexts. However, “excel” and “accel” are not interchangeable. Although they sound similar, they serve completely different purposes in…
Have you ever hesitated while writing “other than” or “other then”? 🤔Don’t worry — this is one of those sneaky English confusions that even native speakers stumble on. Both “than” and “then” are real words, and they sound similar — but they serve completely different grammatical purposes. Mixing them up changes the meaning of your…
Ever found yourself typing “priviledge” and pausing for a second, wondering, “Wait, is that right?” 🤔 You’re definitely not alone.
