Incorrect spelling

saveing

Incorrect spelling, explanation: saving is a popular English word, but it is often misspelled. The reason for that is the fact that the verb save, which belongs to the same word family, ends with an -e letter. Therefore, a number of English users spell saving as saveing, forgetting about the rule which says that we need to remove the -e letter which is preceded by a consonant when we add the -ing ending. That’s why the only correct spelling is saving.
