Incorrect spelling, explanation: photograph is a common English word, but its spelling causes some trouble to both learners and native speakers of English. When we pronounce the word, it is not so clear that there is a letter -o in the middle and many users think that the same happens in writing and they spell the word as photgraph, which is wrong.
Correct spelling, explanation: this English word actually combines two Greek words – phos and graphe – which can literally be translated as drawing with light. In modern English photograph is either a noun or a verb and is widely used in both formal and informal contexts.
