Some (not all) of the spelling errors I have seen here are understandable, considering that many of our members come from Afrikaans-speaking homes. This thread is meant to help out a bit. No offence intended. Use it/don't use it.

1. to in place of too.

to: Afr "om te", "na", "tot"
too: Afr "te (veel)"(oortreffende stap), "ook"


2.aloud in place of allowed.

aloud: Afr "hardop"
allowed: Afr "toegelaat"

3. torroidal should be toroidal. One "r"

4. Capetownian instead of Capetonian


I'll add more as I spot them, but please feel free to help out.
