SEPARATE and SEPERATE

[ellanovella]

Two words that I find people frequently mix up are separate and seperate.

Here's the thing: "seperate" is not actually a word. If you try to look it up in the dictionary, it won't be there. "Separate" can be used as a verb or an adjective.

i.e.

"You need to separate that candy into categories.

or

"Those are separate items."

Hey good to know. So far I've only used the right spelling in my book, but it was good idea to check! I'm sure auto spellcheck already made sure I did the right one anyway. xD

Handy mnemonic:

There's "a rat" in "separate."
