Manual of Style → List of common misspellings
This is a list of common misspellings. Please note that Memory Alpha uses American spellings, and most of these misspellings are the British versions of the words. The misspelling is the first word, with the correct spelling contained in brackets afterward. Note that British spellings of words in place names, titles, etc. are to be retained if that's how they were originally spelled.
