Incorrect spelling

calulate

Incorrect spelling, explanation: calculus is a Latin word and the base for the verb calculate. Calulate, however, is an incorrect word, as it is not based on anything meaningful. The structure of the word suggests that the base word here is calul or calulus, and these simply don’t exist. And if you struggle with the word calculate, think of the pronunciation and remember to put c where the k sound is present.
