Mistakes Due to Lack of Phonics
From Conservapedia
Here is a growing list of mistakes that result from a lack of reading by phonics:
| written word | mistaken substitute | example |
|---|---|---|
| immorality | immortality | Misread in church: "Flee from sexual immorality [misread as "immortality"]. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.[1] |
| Libertarian | Lieberman | "[M]ore than 10,000 Florida voters negated their ballots by voting for both Gore and Libertarian candidate Harry Browne. Presumably, they mistook Libertarian (the party) for Lieberman (Sen. Joe Lieberman, Gore's running mate)."[2] |
| accidentally | actually | "The discovery of new western routes accidentally [misread as "actually"] led to the discovery of lands in the New World (Western Hemisphere)."[3] |
| imminent | eminent | Mistaken transcription of testimony given by now-Justice Sonia Sotomayor during her confirmation hearings. |
