Business Email Spelling Mistakes

Every business email you send is a small piece of your professional reputation. A single misspelled word — accomodate instead of accommodate, or seperate instead of separate — can quietly undermine a carefully written message, and spell-check won't always catch it.

This practice test covers 20 words that working professionals misspell every day in reports, proposals, and client emails. You'll drill the classic traps (accommodate, necessary, occurrence), the words that look right but aren't (definitely, calendar, privilege), and the business-specific vocabulary where even native speakers hesitate (liaison, personnel, correspondence).

Listen to each word, type what you hear, and get instant feedback. Miss one? It comes back around. Over time, you'll build the muscle memory to spell these correctly without a second thought — and without autocorrect doing the thinking for you.
