People writing "seperate" instead of "separate"
People writing "seperate" instead of "separate"
I hate it. And this is the right place to rant about it, right? I don't mind people confusing your and you're, or then for than, but when I read "seperate" my eyes cringe. It's painful.
AAAAAAAGH
WHY.

Welcome to English where the spelling is made up and the rules don‘t matter.
I’ve never heard any difference in how people pronounce that word. Can you make it more explicit? Recordings perhaps?
Sep-er-ate vs sep-ret
Sep-ret as the adjective, sep-a-rate as the verb? That's how it's said where I am.
If it weren't for spellcheck, I'd definitely make this mistake.
