If you have particular trouble with certain spellings,it seems you might not be as stupid as you thought.Researchers claim that a number of words are misspelt simply because we’re too clever.For example,the English word most commonly spelt incorrectly in published documents and on the Internet is supersede(取代).Many of us wrongly come up with“supercede”because of our knowledge of other words including intercede(调解)or precede.The word itself comes from the Latin supersedere,meaning to desist(停止).
