PREFACE
What are the words most commonly misspelled by the average
high school pupil? In an endeavor to solve this problem,
two thousand letters, with five postal cards in each, were sent to
representative high schools in every state in the United States,
requesting the heads of the various departments to report the
words most commonly misspelled in their classes. From the
many thousand replies, this text-book has been compiled.
The first word in Lesson I was sent in by seven hundred
high school teachers; the other words in this lesson show, by
their order, the frequency with which they appear in the
replies. No word has been considered unless suggested by at
least two teachers. This book, then, built on the judgment of
those best qualified to know—the teachers themselves—contains
only the words most frequently misspelled by the average
high school pupil.
A simple phrase is placed after each word, illustrating its
use, and serving to identify it better than would a short,
abstract definition. The division of words into syllables with
accent marks will be of great assistance to the pupil, should
there be any question in his mind as to the correct pronunciation.
The typography is based on the idea that it will be a
great help to the pupil in visualizing the words if he sees them
in script as well as in print.

A FEW SIMPLE RULES FOR SPELLING
When the diphthongs ei and ie are pronounced [=e], c is followed
by ei, all other letters by ie. Examples: ceiling, receive, siege,
believe. Exceptions: leisure, seize, weird. The word slice will
help pupils to remember this rule—i after l and e after c when
applied to believe and receive.
Final y following a consonant changes to i before a suffix
not beginning with i. Examples: busy, business; dry, dried.
When the suffix begins with i, as in -ing and -ish, the y is
retained to avoid having double i. Examples: try, trying;
baby, babyish.
When the final y follows a vowel, the y is retained before a
suffix. Examples: toy, toyed; betray, betrayed; annoy, annoyed.
To form the plural of words ending in y following a consonant
change the y to i and add es. Examples: quantity, quantities;
factory, factories.
When the final y follows a vowel, the y is retained and s added.
Examples: journey, journeys; delay, delays; money, moneys.
Monosyllables and words accented on the last syllable, which
end in a single consonant, following a single vowel, double the
final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel. Examples:
hot, hotter; begin, beginning. Exceptions: (1) gas, gases.
(2) The letters w, x, and y are not doubled. Examples: show,
showing; box, boxed; pay, paying.
In words not accented on the last syllable, the final consonant
may or may not be doubled. Examples: traveler may be
spelled traveller; canceled, cancelled; etc.
In words ending in unaccented e, the final e is dropped
before a suffix beginning with a vowel. Examples: come, coming;
glue, gluing; fine, finer. Exceptions: (1) The e is retained
when it is necessary to preserve the identity of the word,
as dyeing, singeing. (2) When the final e is preceded by o, as
shoeing, hoeing. (3) After c and g when the suffix begins
with a or o, as peace, peaceable; outrage, outrageous; courage,
courageous.
