My wife sent me the link to this website for use in our vocabulary efforts.... Not sure if she meant it for me personally or for use in my classroom. Either way its a great tool for engaging students about how they say the words that they use everyday.  Check it out!

Now that Dr. Language has provided a one-stop cure for the plague of misspelling, here are the 100 words most often mispronounced English words ("mispronunciation" among them). There are spelling rules in English even if they are difficult to understand, so pronouncing a word correctly usually does help you spell it correctly.

Careful speech and avid reading are the best guides to correct spelling. - From LoveToKnow Corp.
