GuildWiki:Misspellings

With all the work flowing around the wiki, spelling often gets overlooked. This is a list of misspellings that are often made, with accompanying search links.


 * Note: The game Guild Wars uses American spelling. Consequently it has been agreed that American spelling shall also be used in all articles throughout GuildWiki. While British spelling is perfectly okay on user pages and talk pages, it should be converted to American spelling in editorial content.
 * For details about the differences in spelling, see for example this Wikipedia article.

To add one to the list add  under the correct heading and write the correct spelling at the side of it.

Do NOT remove entries just because you have performed the check and corrected the offending pages. If you wish to add a note that you have fully checked an entire letter and on what date that is fine.
