USApedia:Lists of common misspellings/Instructions: Difference between revisions

Clicking any of the typo links will search Powerpedia for any instances of the typo. You can then edit the pages to fix them.  

Entries on these lists are derived from listings on [[Wikipedia]]. There are many terms used on Wikipedia that are unlikely to come up within the context of DOE; these may be deleted from the list to reduce clutter and make the lists easier to use. Note that spellings sometimes vary between varieties of English, notably between {{w|American English}} and {{w|Commonwealth English}} (see {{w|American and British English spelling differences}}). Powerpedia is typically written using American English, so list entries suggesting Commonwealth English spelling variants may be updated to show the Commonwealth English spelling as a typo. When checking for typos, though, note that if an article refers to a proper name using the British English or other alternative spelling, it should generally be left as is.
