The -ery -ary ending gets a lot of people. I remember a Berkeley bookstore that had a sign up saying “The stationary department has moved.” Think about it.
Management in the place I work at had signs printed and posted them all over the plant that said “Quality – Do It Right the Frist Time”. They were up for two weeks before anyone noticed. True story.
I was a good speller in grade school. My teacher had hopes for me at the county spelling bee… I went down on my first word. Cotton is not spelled cotten.
Whenever I asked my parents how to spell a word – I was always told to look it up in the dictionary. Fat lot of good it does for all the words with a silent letter like knee, psychology, etc.

Reminds me of a medical alert bracelet I bought for someone with the disease misspelled.

With my bad spelling I would need a dictionary to realize that.

And it lists “unthaw” as a legitimate synonym for “thaw.”

I noticed a sign in a bank that referred to WITHDRAWLS. Well, it was admittedly in Texas so maybe it was intentional.

That’s the problem with dictionaries, you have to know how to spell the word to find it.

Yeah, that would do it, E.B.
Further evidence, were any needed, that Monty is pretty gullible….
