It's not that hard to spell. It's only three letters long.

Runner up: definitely

Why is this word so difficult for people to spell?

the word separate should be added to the poll. i see it spelled "seperate" more often than not.

It's not the most often in forums but in WoW it really gets to me when people say "rouge" when they mean "rogue". I mean really really gets to me, that'll get you kicked out of my group it irritates me so much. Seriously people.

poll?

the / teh is teh real winnar

the / teh is a typo.

The other words people have posted are actual misspellings, probably due to excessive glue consumption in third grade.

Sorry, I didn't know we were distinguishing between typo and misspell.

I was thinking "nazi" .....but then again, this thread is about spelling, not definitions, my bad.

How about most often mispelled word done by accident? I think the majority of teh is done on purpose.

All of the above, plus:

-Not so much a spelling error, but I hate the way people confuse coincidence with irony.
-Also 'I could care less' grinds.

I disagree. 'Most misspelled' could be interpreted as the level at which a word is misspelled ie does it have one, two or three errors within a single word.
'Most often' implies more of a quantitative measure: how many times the word is misspelled.

about you're options in teh poll: their rediculousy fxcked up. theirs at least to that you should have in they're two

 

[timswim78]

What about all of the people who go to "collage?"

 

[silverpig]

The lose/loose one is the one that pisses me off most. teh/the dosen't pop up on forums as often as it does on IMs I don't think. My vote is for they're/their/there

 

[Cattlegod]

Most "teh"s are done on purpose i think.

But none of those are missspelled.

 

[wedi42]

what about 'alot' ?
it's: a lot - 2 words

 

[BurnItDwn]

I vote the/teh

It is usually intentional, however, it's gotten to the point where I'm quite annoyed by it.
