It is time to add some more misspelt words. You all must be wondering that last time also I promised not to write about grammar, but still going on writing about ‘Words’. I know it is no more interesting to learn spellings, where there are so many new things to read – those interesting love fictions or sensational ballads…. Whatever, I have only ‘Words’ for you. Last time when I was asked in an interview about the spelling of collinear, I very confidently wrote it with a single ‘l’, only to find out that I was utterly wrong. I wish this doesn’t happen to you.
One of my reader commented that I should also give the meanings of the words. Even I thought if I give the meanings and the uses than surely the post would become an interesting piece. For the uses you might have to wait for my next few posts. This time I would surely add the meanings of the words too. So, let’s begin from the next alphabet ‘T’
T
Technology (The practical application of science to commerce or industry)
Temperature (The degree of hotness and coldness of a body)
Tenant (Someone who pays rent to utilise the property of someone else)
Thorough (Done comprehensively and completely)

U
Undoubtedly (Doubtless)
Universally (Cosmically)
Unanimously (Without dissent)
Underrated (Underestimated)
Unnecessary (Unneeded)
Until (Before the time)
Usual (Common)
Uttered (Expressed)
V
Vacancy (Emptiness)
Vacillate (Oscillate)
Vacuum (Empty area or space)
Valuable (Having Worth)
Variety (Diverseness)
Viable (Practicable)
Vicinity (Neighbourhood)
Villain (Scoundrel)
W
Warrant (A writ from a court commanding police to perform specified acts)
Waive (Give up)
Weather (Atmospheric condition)
Whether (If)
Wholly (Totally)
Witty (Humorous)
Worshipping (Praying)
Wrapped (Enveloped)
Written (Composed)
Y

You’re (You are)
Sorry, I could not find any misspelt words beginning with alphabets ‘X’ and ‘Z’. Therefore whenever you come across such words, feel free to remind me. No let us depart till I come again with something interesting …..

Let's Get Familiar with Xobdo
It is said that “Where there is a will there is a way”. May be till now I was lacking my will power – or my lethargy has overcome my will. Finally, I found a way. So, what should I write about – love, travel, finance …….or those lazed reminiscences. Why not try with the ‘basics’ that every blogger, orator or the writer needs to have a hang on…
By now it must be pretty clear why I named my blog as “Xobdo”. So, Xobdo -- what does it mean? Lemme clarify you – Sabd = Xobdo = Words!
So, let’s start talking about “Words” – the power of every expression and the fundamental element of every language and literature. Why not get familiar with the spellings! Here are some of the commonly misspelt words…...
A
Accede
Accent
Accommodation
Accumulate
Acquittance
Acknowledgement
Acquaintance
B
Banquet
Believe
C
Competition
Consensus
D
Deceive
Disease
E
Employee
Ephemeral
Enmity
Executive
F
Fascinate
Feint
Florescence
Forfeit
Fulfilled (Of course it may be ‘fulfil’ when in present tense in British English, but always ‘fulfilled’ when in past tense)
Hey!!! I need to wind up now. Don’t worry! I will get back with some more….
