We saw a list last week of the #1 word each state is having trouble spelling so far this year. The funniest takeaway was probably that people in Colorado can't spell "Colorado". But 2020 was a whole other beast, and a different word stood out.

According to a new report, the most misspelled word last year was . . . "QUARANTINE." It was the most googled "how to spell" search in 12 different states. A lot of people thought it was spelled "CORN TEEN."

Other words we had trouble with last year include "coronavirus" . . . "favorite" . . . "every" . . . "believe" . . . "definitely" . . . "separate" . . . and "which." As in "Which of those words do YOU have trouble with?" 

 I have trouble sometimes with “pleasant” and the name “Jeffrey”
