Why "enviroment" needs an "n'tervention
Lloyd Cooper 30/11/2024, 20:15English.me team member
What kind of error is it?
Spelling error.
Why do people make this mistake?
People often misspell "environment" as "enviroment" because the second "n" is not prominently pronounced in speech, leading to its omission in writing. The complexity of the word's spelling and the sequence of letters can also contribute to the confusion.
What is correct?
The correct spelling is "environment". The word refers to the surrounding conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
Examples of correct usage
- We need to protect the environment from pollution.
- Her research focuses on the impact of climate change on the environment.
- Creating a healthy work environment is essential for productivity.
