Most misspelled words on Google

The
examples of misspellings that Google sees most often
are typos of very frequently searched terms, such as
“Criagslist” instead of “Craigslist” and “Facebok”
instead of “Facebook.” But Mr. Paskin
said words
that aren’t spelled the way they sound also give
people trouble.
He cited a few of the most common examples:
* “definitely,” which is often spelled “definately,” “definetly” or “definatly”* “stilettos,” which people spell “stilletos,” and “stillettos”* “mischievous,” spelled “mischevious” and “mischievious” and* “nauseous,” which comes out “nautious,” “nauseas” and “nausious.”
Stilettos? Really, is that a most used term?
