This word gets slaughtered.

This post is completely meant to be fun and not poking fun at anyone. I make my fair share of typos and spelling mistakes. "You" instead of "your" is the most common. Another is "really' or is that realy or relly, I've tried them all....

I've misspelled this word myself and am not guilt free!

After reading so many posts that contain a description of the iris blades within a lens, I'm surprised at how many versions of "aperture" there are.

Aperature
Apperture
Aperatur
Aprature

And any number of variations on that spelling. I know many of the posts here are from people who don't find English easy and I applaud the effort to join in. It really makes no difference as long as others can get the point of the message.

These forums are much more readable than some others I've seen and text/chat messages are another language! As I said it's not meant to step on any toes. I rely on the spell checker too.

What's your favourite misspelling?
