For me common spelling mistakes include confusing some of these word pairs.

  • loose vs. lose
  • then vs. than
  • were vs. where
  • unmagical@lemmy.ml

    I think they were referring more to a tendency of writing seperat(e, ion, or).

    Unfortunately the classification of single words is not so cut and dry:

    • The separator machine uses separation algorithms to separate separate appropriately.
      • separator is an adjective
      • separation is an adjective
      • 1st separate is a verb
      • 2nd separate is a noun
