What kind of error is it?
Spelling error.
Why do people make this mistake?
People often misspell "glamorous" as "glamourous" because they incorrectly carry over the "u" from the noun "glamour" when forming the adjective. In the correct spelling, the "u" is dropped before adding the suffix "-ous".
What is correct?
The correct spelling is "glamorous". It means having an air of elegance, beauty, or sophistication that is often exciting or alluring.
Examples of correct usage
- She looked absolutely glamorous.
- The event was full of glamorous outfits.
- Hollywood is known for its glamorous lifestyle.
