Don't Worry--Bee Happy

OK, so it was a horrible pun. But was it a mispelling? Here's how to find out.

Altho it won't happen until Febuary, it's never too early to gear up for the CHMS Spelling Bee! And now you can do it with a little help from the libary. Here's an exerpt from How to Spell Like a Champ (call # 372.63 TRI), by Barrie Trinkle, Carolyn Andrews, and Paige Kimble:

The Four Types of Tricky Words

The words that most people misspell generally fall into four categories: exceptions to well-known spelling rules, like seize; words with double letters like accommodate; words with silent letters, like subpoena; and words containing a schwa (the usually unstressed vowel sound "uh"), like separate ("SEP-uh-ruht"). Outside those main categories, a few words, like fiery, change the root spelling when a suffix is added; and some words, like hypocrisy, are just plain hard!

How to Spell Like a Champ, p. 17

Even if you don't plan to pursue orthography (spelling) with the passion of Noah Webster, this book is a fun look at a growing subculture.

Can you find the 5 misspelled words in the first two paragraphs (not counting the "Bee")?
