Tricky words

Wildebeest misspelled as wildebeast!

A funny one I've noticed, where you can tell if someone's familiar with the term from reading it or hearing it, is "wreak," as in "to wreak havoc." People who have heard it said often spell it "reek," and people who have read it often pronounce it "wreck." That one seems to get people a lot!

I guess "never mind" is often combined into "nevermind," thanks to Nirvana.
