As most of you know by now, I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm amazed how some misspellings appear over and over again. And mostly they are all the same ones. My nominations are: Morocco, Caribbean, you're/your, Colombia.
How about you?
PS: this thread is completely pointless. Wouldn't be the first, though.
PPS: Special credits to the bloke who spelled Caracas as Carcass.
I think most can blame mis-spells on Auto-correct built in to their computers nowadays....I know I have had to edit more posts than ever since I got my new laptop..Drives me crazy.
In Canada fo r example many words such as color/colour indicate my color as INCORRECT...But up here we don't spell it with the "U" But knowing that makes me smile..so try to remember to include the "U's" as I post with mostly American's..Us Canadian's are non-plussed by such things
I'm sure those who post from outside of North America..and English is NOT first language can get confused...Personally, I'm impressed how well everybody handles it!!

that's strange. Americans spell it as 'color', not 'colour'. When posting, it always indicates that 'colour' is incorrect. Same with favour etc.
