This is tilting at windmills I know, but maybe someone out there will be helped by knowing which are the most common woodworking misspellings here on rec.woodworking and elsewhere. Feel free to chime in with your favorites as well.

Loose means a thing that is not tight. Lose is misplacing something.

Joiner is someone who joins (wood, clubs, whatever) Jointer is that tool that flattens a face and an edge of a board

Planner is one of those books with a yearly calendar, or a person who plans. Planer is a tool to make 2 faces of a board parallel.

Ah, I feel better now haveing gotten that off my cheast (sic).

Angle is a shape formed by two lines diverging from a common point. Anvil is a heavy block of iron on which metals are shaped by hammering. A nail is a slender pointed metal fastener designed to be pounded in. Anal is someone overly concerned about other people's misspellings.

I can't give much respect to a website called "better-english" when they have such blatant errors in their own tests.

I'm amused when I run the model name of a shotgun through the spell checker in Word or other MS business apps... Browning Citori. ;~)

You can add "Buss", a company name, to that list. An electrical or transportation vehicle **BUS** only has a single "S".
