Incorrect spelling

nationalites

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the singular form of nationalities is nationality, which means that when we form a plural form, we need to change the -y letter into -i and then add an -es ending. However, some English users, when forming nationalities, forget about the -i letter before the -es ending and they create the incorrect form nationalites.
