Spelling is not always the easiest beast to tackle. Especially in English where one word may sound a certain way but ends up being spelled completely different. That's why Google gathers an annual list of words that people commonly misspell. Have you ever wanted to know what your neighbor to the north or south has an issue with spelling? Well, wonder no longer. As an extra bonus treat, Google also made a spelling mistake themselves.
This Embarrassing Map Will Show You Every State's Most Misspelled Word According To Google.
#1
Recently Google Trends unveiled their most recent version of their list of the word that each state misspells the most. If poking fun at Rhode Island for failing to know how to spell "liar", Google actually made a bit of a mistake themselves. Tell me that's not the gift that keeps on giving.
#2
Try your best to find the mistake. We made it even easier for you by narrowing your search to the Eastern United States.
If you still can't find it, we will give you one more hint. President Trump lives there.
#3
Give up? It's Washington, D.C.'s entry on the list. Instead of typing "ninety" they misspelled it "nintey." Way to go Google. At least they did fix their mistake later.
#4
The map itself is always a fun way to poke at the ineptitude of others without being mean to their face. The list is formulated by Google staff that check which words each state searches "how to spell" the most from The first of the year until April 30th. Finally, they compile all the data and release their map.
Let's take a look at the map starting with the southern U.S.
It's a good thing Tenessee is a pretty calm state with all their chaos issues.
#5
Next, we have the western U.S. It's a bit of a shame that Californians can't spell what their state is typically described as. Meanwhile, in Oregon, they lack the common form of this.
#6
Now we will take a trip to the midwest where Wisconsin immediately stands out for failing to be able to spell itself. Meanwhile, Oklahomans must be constantly on the go because they lack patience. People in Illinois don't seem to appreciate much.
#7
Finally, we get to the east coast where Maine shouldn't be ashamed of not knowing how to spell that word. What's up with West Virginia and Connecticut wanting to know how to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? I didn't even know it was considered an actual word. At least Massachusetts learned how to spell its own name this year, unlike last year.
#8
The nation as a whole deserves props for figuring out how to spell "desert" and "canceled." Those two words topped last year's results. Interest in learning how to spell "leprechaun" also dropped off massively this year. Sucks to be little green guys with pots of gold. Still, this list has proved that there is still plenty of stupid to go around in America.

Connecticut and West Virginia really stand out for wanting to know how to spell a truly difficult word. (Even if it's made up.) Mississippi brings about questions as to why they can't spell nanny. The biggest derp of them all this year though has to be Wisconsin hands down. Poor Wisconsin. Sweet, ignorant, stupid Wisconsin.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Now I must bid you adieu as I am off to spellcheck this article 3,500 times.
