MARYLAND - In the age of autocorrect and spell-check, you'd think spelling would be a solved problem. But we all have those specific words that just don't look right, prompting a quick, sheepish search for the correct spelling.
So, which word trips up Marylanders the most?
And the Most Misspelled Word in Maryland Is...
According to data compiled by Google Trends, the most misspelled word in the state of Maryland is:
"Special"
This finding comes from Google's analysis of the most-searched "how to spell..." queries by state. While residents of the Old Line State are confident with complex words like "Annapolis" or "Susquehanna," it's the seemingly simple, seven-letter word "special" that sends them to the search bar most often.
Maryland isn't alone in its struggle with a common word. The same data revealed that Virginians most often searched for "beautiful," and Pennsylvanians looked up "schedule."
It's a humbling reminder that even everyday words can be tricky. So the next time you have to pause and think if it's "c-i-a-l" or "t-i-a-l," know that you are in good company with many of your fellow Marylanders.
