The many misspellings of Tennessee. Or is it Tennesee or Tenessee?

While we all want to be the best spellers and typists, sometimes our eyes get crossed and we end up scratching our head looking at the screen wondering if what we are spelling is correct or not. It’s also extremely easy to fat finger the keyboard and Tennessee is an easy mistake. People get it wrong all the time. I’ve seen it spelled Tenessee, and Tennesee and even Tenesee believe it or not, but hey if that’s the worst it gets I’m okay with that. Just try to resist the urge to spell Nashville “NashVegas” or even “Little L.A”. We’ve been known to give towns like Las Vegas and Los Angeles a run for their money (at least when it comes to misspelling them). I’m pretty sure folks still try to spell them Los Vegas and Las Angeles which is probably why you’re more likely to just see “Vegas” and “L.A.”. We shorten everything nowadays. Just ask any fluent text messager, but that’s a whole different story we’ll talk about later.

    I practice real estate in Minnesota, and am glad I don’t have to know how to spell Massachusets, or is it Masachussets, or is it Massahcusetts or is it Massuchusets or is it.. dang, now I can’t seem to remember. Hey, why don’t they put spell-check in these comment forms, anyway?
