- "Principal" and "principle." "Principal" means head or chief (like of a company or school), while "principle" is a basic truth or tenet.
- "Complement" and "compliment." Unless you're giving away free stuff or telling someone how nice she looks today, you probably mean the first one, which is defined as "to complete."
- "Fewer" and "less." The supermarket checkouts should say "10 items or fewer" because "fewer" means a smaller number of units. "Less," on the other hand, means a smaller quantity. In other words, if you can't count it, use "less."
- "Capitol" and "capital." "Capitol" refers to that building in Washington where the legislature meets, while "capital" relates to money or is an uppercase letter.
- "Bi-monthly" and "semi-monthly." WHY magazine is published bi-monthly, or every two months. Semi-monthly means twice a month.
