In this article, we have listed 100 words that are most commonly misspelled in LNAT Essays.
These days, when we type anything on our phones, tablets, iPads, or laptops, we have the built-in spell check function keeping a watch for any misspelled words – either simply underlining the errant words in red or offering us correct alternatives in a pop-up.
Office applications like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint may also have auto-correct features turned on, making the required corrections automatically, without us having to even pause our writing.
Apart from spelling checks, office applications also have grammar check functions to help us use the proper words as per the context. For example, ‘There’ and ‘Their’ are both spelled correctly but become incorrect if not used in the proper context. Microsoft Word’s grammar check points out contextual errors like this (with a blue underline).
To a large extent, we have stopped paying too much attention to our spelling, becoming overly dependent on these useful tools.
Why should you avoid spelling and grammatical mistakes in the LNAT Essay?
Remember, your essay may be used to assess your command of the English language, specifically written English.
The LNAT Essay is sent ‘as is’ to the universities that you have chosen. The essays are read and marked manually by university assessors. Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors may negatively affect your essay scores.
The actual LNAT Essay screen will not have any built-in spelling check facility. Incorrectly spelled words will not be underlined, as we are accustomed to seeing in the regular browser text boxes. Therefore, if you are not paying attention to what you are typing, it is very easy to make mistakes in your LNAT Essay.
By the way, we have disabled the browser spelling-check and error underlining functions in the LawMint LNAT Practice Tests to ensure optimum practice.
Go through this list of 100 Commonly Misspelled Words in LNAT Essays – the correct version and the incorrect versions. The next time you are using any of these words in your essay, ensure that you use the correct versions.
