I think "aiptasia" is the most commonly misspelled word on this forum

brccoins · 04/13/2007, 10:44 PM

It is misspelled probably half the time I see it LOL. For the longest time I spelled it aptasia as well.

Any particular reason you started a thread for this?

If it's not in spell check I just use the hooked on phonics tapes

seems like a harmless observation.

and one a bit more thought provoking than yours

and he's right. but it's a set. you can't have "apatastia" without the amenome or anenit...er amenity or whatever kind of animal that aptasty thing is.

I think the definition of Reef Discussion is more of a philosophical one than definitive.

What did you say? Athanasia?

fishsoldseprtly · 04/14/2007, 03:21 AM

no he said "apetesia"!

Frick-n-Frags · 04/14/2007, 06:21 AM

that's why I take couple year timeouts, to make sure I don't have more posts than the experts.

. that just wouldn't look right heh.

hey, pm me your account and pass and I'll add some post counts

I always wanted to be a DSB owner and blast those dumb BB runners.

elephen · 04/14/2007, 07:00 AM

... along with detritus, I see so many people spell it detrius.

Michelle L · 04/14/2007, 07:19 AM

I'm guilty. I always mis-spell it as well, even though I know better. My fingers get going too fast and, there it is.

I think the second most mis-spelled word is "angel." For some reason that fish always turns into something out of a geometry book..."Angle."

dailydriven911 · 04/14/2007, 08:07 AM

Better double check that spelling......

Paintbug · 04/14/2007, 10:57 AM

coralline has got to be number one! maybe astraea snails. (both of those are spelled correctly by the way

)
