Incorrect spelling, explanation: you can’t spell ignore as ignor because it would violate standard English spelling and grammatical rules. Many English verbs end with an -e in their base form. The -e serves as a marker for regular conjugation. For example, words like move, bake, and hope all follow the same structure as ignore and retain the -e in their basic form. Dropping the -e would disrupt this consistent pattern. Ignor is not a recognized word.

Correct spelling, explanation: ignore is the correct and standard English verb used to describe the action of deliberately choosing not to pay attention to something or someone. Ignore is a properly conjugated verb in its base form. Depending on the tense or subject, it changes (e.g., ignored in the past tense, ignoring in the present participle). Ignor is incorrect because it lacks the necessary -e at the end to form a proper verb. Ignor might resemble ignorance, but that’s a noun. Confusing ignor with ignore could stem from mistaking one form of the word for another part of speech.
