Spellings

'Legendary' means famous or celebrated. The correct spelling has '-ary' ending (like 'ordinary'), not '-ery' or '-sy'. The root is 'legend' plus '-ary' suffix.

'Temperament' refers to a person's nature or disposition. It has 'per' in the middle (not 'pra'), ends with '-ment', and includes 'a' after 'm'. Double 'm' is incorrect.

'Necessary' is spelled with one 'c' and double 's': 'nec-ES-sary'. The ending is '-ary' (like 'ordinary'), not '-asy' or '-ay'. This is one of the most commonly misspelled words.

'Committee' is the correct spelling for a group of people assembled for a purpose. It has double 'm', double 't', and double 'e' in the middle: com-MIT-tee. Remember: 'commit' plus '-tee'.

'Commitment' means a pledge or promise. It has double 'm', single 't', and ends with '-ment'. Unlike 'committee', this word refers to the act of committing, not the group.

'Commander' is the correct spelling for a military officer rank or leader. It has 'mm' in the middle, 'nd' after that, and ends with '-er'. The root is 'command' plus '-er' suffix.

'Budgetary' means relating to a budget. It starts with 'Budg-' (like 'budget'), has 'e' after 'g', and ends with '-ary' (adjective suffix). Not 'yt', 'g', or 'sr'.

'Rapprochement' means the renewal of friendly relations. It starts with 'Rap-' (not 'Re-'), has 'pp' and 'och', and ends with '-ment'. French origin word commonly used in diplomacy.

'Incumbent' means currently holding an office or position. It starts with 'Inc-' (not 'Inc-'), has 'um' after 'c', 'b' after 'u', and ends with '-ent'. No 'a' in the spelling.

Sovereignty is spelled with 'e' after the v (sove-), not 'a' (sove-). The ending is '-eignty' with an 'e' before the 'i', not '-iegnty'. Remember: reign + sovereignty share the 'eig' pattern.

Accurate has two c's and one r after each other: 'ac-cu-rate'. Not 'ac-cu-r-rate' (extra r) or 'ac-u-rate' (missing c). The 'cur' syllable keeps the c from the prefix 'ac-'.

Benefited is spelled with one 't' after the 'e' (not two). The past tense of 'benefit' follows standard patterns: drop the 't', add 'ed'. Common error is doubling the t, but 'benefited' is the preferred spelling.

Apprentice starts with 'Ap-p' (double p), then 'ren', then 'tice'. The 'a' after 'p' is not dropped (not 'Aprentise'). The middle syllable is '-ren-' not '-re-' or '-ern-'.

Rehearsal is spelled 're-hear-sal' with 'hear' in the middle (not 'her' or 'reher'). The ending is '-sal' not '-sel'. Remember: re + hear + sal (like you 'hear' something during rehearsal).

Hindrance is spelled with 'd' after 'n' (hind-), not 'hider-'. The ending is '-rance' with 'a' not 'e'. Think of 'hinder' + '-ance' = hindrance (the 'e' from 'hinder' is absorbed).
