Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article does a fine job describing the topic and introducing what the article contains. It gives a definition of commonly misspelled English words for both U.S. and U.K. readers, and it gives a brief explanation as to why some words are commonly misspelled along with a few examples. This sets the article up to to more in-depth in the following sections where the majority of the content is found. The largest section, "Documented list of common misspellings," is very-well organized into an alphabetical, bulleted list of the words and the typical ways they are misspelled. At the top of the section, the article also mentions how these words come from documents that have collected this information. This is to explain that the article provides the top 400 words from these lists and not every single misspelled word in the English language. The additional sections are also organized with headings and subheadings, and they, too, use bullets to makes the lists clear. The article remains neutral and avoids opinions, and while there are no images, the topic does not require it. The talk page shows that the last edit was made in January 2023, and a majority of the edits are fixing lint errors. However, there were also users utilizing the talk feature to debate whether or not certain words should be listed, such as homophone examples. Overall, the article is well-written and provides excellent information along with its references.
