I've never seen it spelled "omnipitent." But since you used the word "spelt," I'm going to venture a guess that you're not American, so maybe it's just a matter of cultural spelling.

Either that or you're making a joke that went straight over my head. :-)

@divantilya I don't follow your logic. English is a terribly non-phonetic language with spellings that make absolutely no sense unless you know the specific variation of the rule someone is using (ghoti for fish). When you add in things like homophones like "read" and "red," spelling variation by region, and people literally making up words all the time, you get a small picture of the many, many reasons someone might spell a word incorrectly. So, not understandable that someone might misspell a word? I think not.
ander217

Pronunciation is a terrible word. You pronounce a word, so why isn't it pronounciation? Agree with TyrHawk, the English language is never consistent. That's why I'm all for spelling leniency - my hat's off to people who learn English as a second language. It's difficult enough as a first language.
Sifhraven

@divantilya I think misspelling is more understandable that mispronunciation. Because most of the (foreign) words you learn, you pick up by hearing them, so you would sometimes never have seen them spelled before anyway.

Yes the words you learn in school you see written down. But afaik allmost allways you get to hear the pronuciation aswell.

Spelling something wrong is an easy mistake.

However claiming a word is written wrong while it is right, or actually more precise, claiming a certain spelling is right when it is not, is not so understandable. (THINKING it was spelled differently is another matter, we all have had preassumptions about how a word might be spelled before we knew the actual spelling)

I have to admit nauseous is one of the words I have trouble spelling, the other is necessary. (wow... got em both right in one, no red squiggly line !! (it helps thinking knaw -sius instead of nawsjus)

it is quite bad when a teacher claims that. anyway naucious would make more sense.

Interesting fact: the word obelisk comes from the ancient Greek "ὀβελός - obelos", which referred to a spit used for roasting meat. We're a few centuries away from the Great Egytian Souvlakis.

Probably because there are no common words to make it familiar to you - epidermis, dermatology; gastritis, gastrology; nervous system, neurology, etc. Oncology - cancer? Just isn't the same. One has to know the root origins of the word for it to make sense - Greek onkos for mass, evolving to the Latin onco meaning tumor. As Scienceguy said, I hope you never have a reason to remember the word.

I have a very important announcement to make: nearly two years later, and after much practical research and experimentation, I now do like ouzo. It has to be really good ouzo, though, preferrably the Plomariou kind from Lesvos, and it has to be drunk with ice cubes and absolutely no liquid water.

End of announcement. Γεια μας!

I learned to read English before I learned to speak it (by reading books in my parents' library and having a trusted dictionary/thesaurus) nearby, so there are many words that I could spell but didn't know how to pronounce. When that happens to you at at early age, the mispronunciation tends to stick unless you make a conscious effort to pronounce it correctly by mimicking a native speaker. My common faux pas are: Omnipotent, Indict, Meter, Kilometer and Verbose.
