[ad#ad-4]
The 10-letter word came top in a study of everyday words Britons struggle to spell correctly, with most of us regularly mixing up the second ‘I’ with an ‘A’ on a regular basis.
Second place was ’sacrilegious’, which leaves people confused over whether it has an ‘E’ or ‘I’ in the middle.
‘Indict’, which is often misspelt as ‘indite’, was third.
The fourth most difficult word was ‘manoeuvre’ which causes problems due to the proximity of the ‘O’ and ‘E’ to each other.
