Google releases list of America's most misspelled words

Wednesday, May 31, 2017
PHILADELPHIA -- From supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to pneumonia, there's a spelling - or misspelling - crisis apparently sweeping the nation.

Google would know because that's where most people turn when their initial suggestion is beyond help from autocorrect.

And so, in honor of National Spelling Week, Google has mapped America's most misspelled words.

In case you're wondering what your neighbors are struggling with, New Yorkers are looking to spell "Beautiful." It's "Twelve" in New Jersey, while Connecticut respectfully struggles with the Mary Poppins creation listed above.

In Pennsylvania, sauerkraut seems to be stumping people. And with BBQ season in full swing, it might be a good one to master.

What words give you a rough time trying to spell?
