Spellling

Spellling is not a standard English word; it is most often a misspelling of spelling, the act or process of forming words with letters in their correct order. The term may appear in informal writing or on screen as a typographical error, sometimes created by accidentally doubling letters when adding a suffix or during keyboard repetition. Because of this, spellling is generally treated as an error rather than a recognized term.

Spelling, the correct word, refers to the conventional arrangement of letters used to form words in a language. It is a component of orthography, the broader system of spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, and punctuation. In English, spelling is historically variable and complex, reflecting influences from Old English, Norman French, Latin, and other languages. Pronunciation and spelling diverge in many words, leading to irregular spellings that learners must memorize.

In use and editing, awareness of common misspelling patterns helps writers avoid errors. Misspellings often involve doubling or tripling consonants unnecessarily, confusing vowels, or letter transposition. Dictionaries and spell-checkers routinely note common misspellings and provide corrections. While spellling is encountered in some texts, the standard form remains spelling.
