After visiting the second link shown above, which 5 words jumped out at you? (HINT: A great way to learn the spelling of commonly misspelled words is to use a flashcard & to study it a few times a day. Read the word out loud & then spell it, letter-by-letter. If you do that 3-4 times a day, for 5-7 days, you will start to know that word by memory & be less likely to misspell it in the future!)
