To celebrate the ‘Scripps US National Spelling Bee‘, the brain boxes over at GoogleTrends have created a map of the United States to show which state searched for the spelling of commonly misspelled words.
Among the most commonly misspelled were “niece,” “cancelled,” “desert”, and “beautiful.” And then there is the state of Massachusetts, whose most Googled request was for the spelling of their own state… Awkward.
Check our the map below!
