Can anyone direct me to a *good* list of words which are commonly misspelled by beginning English students? I specifically want a list of very simple and embarrassing misspellings.

Hey Billy...welcome back.

Do you want a list of specific mistakes of L2 learners...or all beginning English learners...L1 and L2?

I'm just trolling. I seem to have failed. I suppose I've gotten rusty at it. Remember the days? (mists up)

Whether you're trolling or not, my kids frequently use 'e' instead of 'a' when they try to spell because North Americans say stuff like 'bed' for bad, 'hed' for had and 'cendy' for sweets
