Has autocorrect made us worse at spelling? A new study is sparking conversation online after revealing the most commonly misspelled words across the country and some of the results may surprise you.

According to a recent study from Unscramblerer.com, the most commonly misspelled word in Georgia in 2026 is “Chihuahua.”

Other commonly misspelled words included:
• School
• Different
• Because
• Business
• Through
• Character

The study also found that people in other states struggled with words like “spaghetti” and “restaurant.”
