Spelling is a skill that’s both practical and impressive. In a world dominated by autocorrect and spell check, it’s easy to overlook just how tricky some words can be. But mastering spelling not only sharpens your language skills but also boosts your confidence in communication.

After all, correctly spelled words make a stronger impression, whether in a casual email or a professional document. Some words trip people up because they sound different than they look, while others are confusing because of their origins or similar-sounding counterparts.
