Lon­don, Aug 7 (ANI): A new study has found that ’sep­a­rate’ is the most com­monly mis­spelt word in the Eng­lish language.

The eight-letter word came top due to the reg­u­lar plac­ing of an ‘E’ where the first ‘A’ sits.

Sec­ond in the list was ‘def­i­nitely’, which often falls vic­tim to a string of mis­takes includ­ing mix­ing up the sec­ond ‘I’ with an ‘A’. Another com­mon error is drop­ping the final ‘E’.

The mar­ket research com­pany www.OnePoll.com car­ried out the study of 3,500 Britons.

“There seem to be some words which we always strug­gle to get down onto paper, and ’sep­a­rate’ is one of those which eludes us,” the Tele­graph quoted the spokesper­son of the com­pany as saying.

“A com­mon mis­take many make is writ­ing a word the way it sounds which leaves us mud­dling up one let­ter with another and get­ting it wrong.

“For­tu­nately, com­put­ers’ spell-check cor­rects wrongly spelt words for us, but that means we become lazy and never learn the cor­rect spelling.

“There’s no excuse not to learn how words are formed – it’s drilled into us from such a young age and if the words are fre­quently used we should make a con­scious effort to get it right next time.

“The fact we judge other people’s intel­li­gence by their writ­ten word, yet don’t like to be judged our­selves, means we should all pick up a dic­tio­nary once in a while,” the spokesper­son said.

It has also emerged that one in six peo­ple often spell words so incor­rectly that their PC is unable to recog­nise the word. wo out of three admit­ted using spell-check on com­put­ers has made them lazy while writ­ing let­ters or notes by hand.

One in five blamed pre­dic­tive text mes­sag­ing for their bad spelling.

But despite the fre­quency of errors, most (77 per cent) believed that their spelling is either ‘good’ or ‘very good’.

The study also found 46 per cent judge other peo­ple on their spelling, with 27 per cent admit­ting they believe peo­ple who can­not spell are ‘thick’.

One in five said it was their belief the art of spelling was some­thing ‘you just learn in school’. (ANI)

Sig­nif­i­cant Points

• Most jobs in this occu­pa­tion require a col­lege de­gree—preferably in com­mu­ni­ca­tions, jour­nal­ism, or English—but a degree in a tech­ni­cal sub­ject may be useful.
• Job prospects for most tech­ni­cal writ­ing jobs are expected to be good, par­tic­u­larly for those with Web or mul­ti­me­dia experience.
• Excel­lent com­mu­ni­ca­tions skills, curios­ity, and atten­tion to detail are highly desired traits.

Nature of the Work

Tech­ni­cal writ­ers, also called tech­ni­cal com­mu­ni­ca­tors, put tech­ni­cal infor­ma­tion into eas­ily under­stand­able lan­guage. They work pri­mar­ily in information-technology-related indus­tries, coor­di­nat­ing the devel­op­ment and dis­sem­i­na­tion of tech­ni­cal con­tent for a vari­ety of users; how­ever, a grow­ing num­ber of tech­ni­cal com­mu­ni­ca­tors are using tech­ni­cal con­tent to resolve busi­ness com­mu­ni­ca­tions prob­lems in a diver­si­fy­ing num­ber of indus­tries. Included in their prod­ucts are oper­at­ing instruc­tions, how-to man­u­als, assem­bly instruc­tions, and other documenta­tion needed for online help and by tech­ni­cal sup­port staff, con­sumers, and other users within the com­pany or indus­try. Techni­cal writ­ers also develop doc­u­men­ta­tion for com­puter pro­grams and set up com­mu­ni­ca­tions sys­tems with con­sumers to assess cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion and qual­ity con­trol mat­ters. In addi­tion, they com­monly work in engi­neer­ing, sci­en­tific, health­care, and other areas in which highly spe­cial­ized mate­r­ial needs to be ex­plained to a diverse audi­ence, often of laypersons.

Tech­ni­cal writ­ers often work with engi­neers, sci­en­tists, com­puter spe­cial­ists, and soft­ware devel­op­ers to man­age the flow of infor­ma­tion among project work­groups dur­ing devel­op­ment and test­ing. They also may work with prod­uct lia­bil­ity spe­cial­ists and cus­tomer ser­vice or call cen­ter man­agers to improve the qual­ity of prod­uct sup­port and end-user assis­tance. Tech­ni­cal writ­ers also over­see the prepa­ra­tion of illus­tra­tions, pho­tographs, dia­grams, and charts. Tech­ni­cal writ­ers increas­ingly are using a vari­ety of mul­ti­me­dia for­mats to con­vey infor­ma­tion in such a way that com­plex con­cepts can be under­stood eas­ily by users of the infor­ma­tion.

Over the years of run­ning thesitewizard.com, I have had numer­ous web­mas­ters write to me ask­ing why their web pages do not appear in the search engine results page even though they directly search for terms that should yield their page. More often than not, a quick visit to their site reveals that they have cre­ated a web page that is not search engine friendly. [Read the rest of this entry…]

Pow­er­Point 2010 is so much awaited, and it’s great to know that Microsoft

has unwrapped some infor­ma­tion on what’s new in this upcom­ing release of the world’s lead­ing pre­sen­ta­tion program.

Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 is packed with a lot of new and very inter­est­ing fea­tures and func­tion­al­ity.  Here is an overview of those I find most interesting.

The new GUI

Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 has a brand new Graph­i­cal User Inter­face that resem­bles the other Adobe prod­ucts like Pho­to­Shop and Flash.

Mas­ter Slides

Just like with MicroSoft Pow­er­Point it is now pos­si­ble to use the Mas­ter Slide con­cept in Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5. This makes the work­flow eas­ier because you can set up your entire lay­out and design on the Mas­ter Slide and one need to do it once. It is also pos­si­ble to use mul­ti­ple Mas­ter Slides in Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5.

Object Styles

Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 allows you to apply a vari­ety of styles to your objects. This makes it quicker and eas­ier to get a con­sis­tent look in your entire project. And behold – the “Apply to all” actu­ally works now!

Pub­lish to Acrobat.com

With Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 you can pub­lish your con­tent to Acrobat.com and share it with learn­ers and review­ers from around the world. The cool thing about this is that if you don’t have an LMS then you can use this fea­ture and still col­lect quiz scores and results from your learners.

Ani­ma­tion effects

Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 now also makes it pos­si­ble to ani­mate things. Ear­lier you had to use Adobe Flash in order to make an image or object move from left to right but now this is pos­si­ble directly from within Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5.

Video over­haul

Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 has a new rutine for han­dling video in your projects. It works much bet­ter than Adobe Cap­ti­vate 4. You can now import video and syn­chro­nize it with the project, slide, or a set of slides.

Other

Other things worth men­tion­ing with Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 is improved quizzing design and con­trol, new and bet­ter record­ing rutine, improved round-tripping between Adobe Cap­ti­vate 5 and other Adobe Prod­ucts (and Pow­er­Point too), new and improved Wid­get API

In the next cou­ple of days I will post a more detailed review and look at each of these top­ics start­ing with the new GUI.
