1. Pacifically instead of specifically – 35%
2. Probly instead of probably – 28%
3. Expresso instead of espresso – 26%
4. Specially instead of especially – 25%
5. Artick instead of arctic – 19%
6. Nu-cu-lar instead of nuclear – 19%
7. Tenderhooks instead of tenterhooks – 18%
8. Ex-cet-ara instead of etcetera – 18%
9. Ass-essory instead of accessory – 15%
10. Triath-a-lon instead of triathlon – 9%
I'm guilty of five.
How many (if any) are other AB'ers guilty of?
