About CorrectOrNot
CorrectOrNot is built for one simple moment: when you stop mid-sentence and think, “Wait… is this spelling right?” That moment happens to everyone. Students. Professionals. Native speakers. Non-native speakers. People writing quickly on a deadline.
We’re here to make that moment easier. Not by overwhelming you with grammar theory, but by giving you a clear answer, a quick explanation, and examples that feel real. Some answers take one line. Some need a little nuance. Either way, the goal stays the same: help you write confidently.
What we focus on: spelling mistakes, confusing word pairs, tricky usage, and common writing errors — explained simply and backed by reliable sources.
Why This Site Exists
Most people don’t want to dig through dense reference material just to confirm a spelling. They want a direct answer. They want it fast. They want to know why one version is correct — because understanding helps you remember.
That’s the idea behind CorrectOrNot. A clean, practical resource you can trust. A site that respects your time and doesn’t talk down to you.
What You’ll Find Here
- “X vs Y” spelling comparisons (the format people actually search for)
- Common misspellings with explanations and quick memory tips
- Confused words and how to choose the right one in context
- Clear examples that show correct usage in real sentences
- Notes on US vs UK spelling when it matters
We keep things scannable. That’s intentional. But we don’t sacrifice accuracy for speed. Not ever.
How We Keep It Accurate
Every article is reviewed with a simple question in mind: Would this help a real person write better today? That includes accuracy, clarity, and examples that actually reflect modern usage.
We rely on trusted dictionaries, style guides, and reputable references. When the answer depends on context, we explain that. When language varies by region, we say so clearly. You can read more about our editorial standards here: Editorial Policy & Sources.
We do not chase “clickbait certainty.” If a topic is nuanced, we treat it as nuanced. But we still aim to leave you with a clear recommendation and a confident choice.
Corrections Are Welcome
We take corrections seriously. If you find a typo, notice a missing nuance, or have a strong reference that improves an article, let us know. The best websites get better because readers participate.
You can submit corrections and topic requests here: Suggest a Correction / Submit a Name. One good suggestion can improve a page for thousands of future readers. That’s a great trade.
How We Fund the Site
CorrectOrNot may display ads or use affiliate links. This helps pay for hosting, research tools, content improvements, and ongoing maintenance. It also allows us to keep content free for readers.
What we don’t do: we don’t sell editorial conclusions. We don’t rewrite answers to fit an advertiser’s preference. If a spelling is wrong, we’ll say it’s wrong — even if it’s popular.
