Incorrect spelling

tipical

Incorrect spelling, explanation: as the pronunciation of the word typical is /ˈtɪp.ɪ.kəl/ many users of English wrongly assume that the -i sound in the first syllable corresponds to the spelling and they spell the word as tipical, which is wrong. The spelling has a -y letter in the first syllable so the only correct spelling is typical.
